Day 29 of 40 Days of Prayer

Scripture: 1 Peter 3:1-8

Meditation: It is said that, "talk is cheap", sometimes talk can even be counter-productive! There are some people in our lives, who's hearts are not open to the message of the gospel. The temptation sometimes is just to talk longer or louder, but God understands that this will just result in their heels being dug in even deeper against the truth. But what if... what if instead of preaching the gospel, we model the gospel? To our children, our spouses, or anyone else with a heart closed to the gospel, let us learn to live before them in a spirit of love, service and humility.

Prayer: Thank you God for not pushing us too hard to accept you. Thank you for showing us your love and inviting us to come to you. Help us to show the same wisdom toward those we love. Teach us to show the power of the gospel in our daily lives so that people will see your love for them and be drawn to you.
