But Jesus knew their thoughts. He said to the man with the deformed hand, “Come and stand in front of everyone.” So the man came forward. Then Jesus said to his critics, “I have a question for you. Does the law permit good deeds on the Sabbath, or is it a day for doing evil? Is this a day to save life or to destroy it?”

He looked around at them one by one and then said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” So the man held out his hand, and it was restored! At this, the enemies of Jesus were wild with rage and began to discuss what to do with him.

Prayer: Lord Jesus – You made enemies by doing right. I confess, however, that I have made enemies by doing wrong. Please forgive me and show me how I can make right the wrongs I have done. For Your Name’s sake, I ask it. Amen.

Morning Reading: Luke 6:1-5 NLT – Lord of the Sabbath

Reading: Luke 6:1-5 NLT

grain fieldOne Sabbath day as Jesus was walking through some grainfields, his disciples broke off heads of grain, rubbed off the husks in their hands, and ate the grain.

But some Pharisees said, “Why are you breaking the law by harvesting grain on the Sabbath?”

Jesus replied, “Haven’t you read in the Scriptures what David did when he and his companions were hungry? He went into the house of God and broke the law by eating the sacred loaves of bread that only the priests can eat. He also gave some to his companions.”

And Jesus added, “The Son of Man is Lord, even over the Sabbath.”

Prayer: Lord Jesus – Your Kingdom spans all of life – our rising and sleeping, eating and drinking, coming and going, working and resting – You are Lord of all. Conform our lives to Your Kingdom purposes… and so enter into Your joy – today. Amen.

Spiritual Song: “God Rules” – Rick Muchow (All About Love)

jesus-lord-universeHe rules today, He rules forever
The kingdom of God means God rules
He rules is our hope, He rules is our reality
The kingdom of God means God rules

Open your heart, Turn from your old ways
Then you will start, Dancing to the rhythm of Grace
Give Him your life, Give Him your whole life now
The kingdom of God means God rules
The kingdom of God means God rules

He rules the world, With truth and grace
The kingdom of God means God rules

He rules in love and righteousness
The kingdom of God means God rules
The kingdom of God means God rules
