Spiritual exercise for the week of August 29:
Are you good at following directions?

This week when directions that come your way—on a 
medicine bottle, on road signs to follow to a specific 
destination, in a recipe, in instructions about how 
to assemble something‹remind yourself that God has 
given us directions in the Bible.

Ponder: Could you be better at following God¹s directions?  
Which one(s) in particular? 

***
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart . . . 
[and] your neighbor as yourself.  (Matthew 22: 37-39)
***

Prayer for this week 
Day by day, dear Lord, 
of thee three things I pray: 
to see you more clearly, 
love you more dearly, 
follow you more nearly, 
day by day. Amen.
   —Richard of Chichester  

God's promise: 
You did not choose me but I chose you. And 
I appointed you to go and bear fruit, 
fruit that will last.  (John 15:16)
