Text for the Day -- Luke 20:45 - 21:4 ---------- In the hearing of all the people he said to the disciples, 'Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, and to have the best seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets. They devour widows' houses and for the sake of appearance say long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.'
He looked up and saw rich people putting their gifts into the treasury; he also saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. He said, 'Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them; for all of them have contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.'
Devotional ---------- Jesus contrasts the Pharisees' self righteousness and greed with the poor widow's sacrificial gifts for the temple. The Pharisees present a gross picture of pride and arrogance and abuse of the purpose of prayer. The widow humbly offers everything she has and prays through her demonstration of the gift. She is rich toward God.
Prayer --------------- Free my spirit from self-focus, Lord, and enable me to humbly give my life and goods for others. Amen

Be very alert the next 6 or 7 weeks. In September the wicked in the world will be brought out. Evil will try to create war against the children of God. The Spirit of Elijah has awaken and is spreading like a raging fire. Evil is losing it's grip and now will fight with all the ugliness. In big public gathering be extra alert. There will be some news that will shock the non awaken. Soon the 5 eyes will be no more. Soon evil leaders in religions will be no more. Soon many leaders of the world will be no more. Prayers and peace be with you. It's a glorious time to be living.
