Living Stones

Tuesday, August 4, 2026

Good morning, Lord

Father in Heaven, open my heart and mind, Holy Spirit. Fill my consciousness and complete Your joy in me as I take up my cross and follow...In Jesus' name…

Memory verse: 1 John 1:8–9

8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the 

truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all 

unrighteousness.

Verse of the day—Matthew 25:23 (ESV)

23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’

Today’s reading: Psalm 66-67 Romans 7

Living Stones

4 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For it stands in Scripture:

a cornerstone chosen and precious,

and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”

Father in Heaven,

Make you name first in my heart. Give me your passion for Your kingdom for today. Make Christ Jesus my passion. Forgive me my hate and lead me away from my sloth.

Precious and gentle, most powerful God,

In the name of my Lord, Christ Jesus,

Amen
