THE WORD FOR TODAY Friday 29.03.2024

And as for the man from a strange land, who is not of
your people Israel; when he comes from a far country
because of the glory of your name: For they will have
news of your great name and your strong hand and your
out-stretched arm; when he comes to make his prayer,
turning to this house: Give ear in heaven your
living-place, and give him his desire, whatever it
may be; so that all the peoples of the earth may have
knowledge of your name, worshipping you as do your
people Israel, and that they may see that this house
which I have put up is truly named by your name.

1 Kin. 8:41-43

My loved ones, I make this request with all my heart,
that, as those for whom this world is a strange country,
you will keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh
which make war against the soul; Being of good behaviour
among the Gentiles; so that though they say now that you
are evil-doers, they may see your good works and give
glory to God when he comes to be their judge.

1 Pet. 2:11-12
