2 Corinthians 13:14 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 

Grace, love, and fellowship all come from the Trinity and are attributes that we should display as God’s people.

Luke 1:77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,

I can only know salvation if I have been forgiven. 

2 Corinthians 12:7b Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 

Lord, keep me humble and use my physical weakness to remind me that I serve You and You are the one to receive all glory. May I not be boastful, but may my blindness keep me always looking to You.

Luke 1:74 to rescue us from the hand of our enemies, and to enable us to serve him without fear

Rescue from the enemy not only frees us to serve the Lord, it also alleviates our fears. 

2 Corinthians 11:23b I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again.

Preaching the Word of God can cause more than sacrifice, it can cause physical suffering. Lord, may I be willing to endure physical suffering to reach others, so that they can be saved. 

Luke 1:68 

Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has come to His people and redeemed them.

Help me to be more worshipful toward You, dear Father, for coming to me and redeeming me. 

2 Corinthians 10:15-18 Neither do we go beyond our limits by boasting of work done by others. Our hope is that, as your faith continues to grow, our sphere of activity among you will greatly expand, so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. For we do not want to boast about work already done in someone else’s territory. But, “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends. 

Sometimes God chooses those to spread His Word that others would not select. It is up to the Lord to approve His messengers, despite what other people may think or say.

James 2:26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead. 
Father, enable me to show my faith in my actions toward others.

Luke 1:66

For the Lord’s hand was with him.

May Your hand be with me today, O Father.  

2 Corinthians 9:6-8 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 

Lord, enable me to be generous not only with my finances, but with my time and love as well. May You bless those I spend time with and those whom I love deeply.
