Join the Street Team

Bible in a Year:

• Jeremiah 12–14
• 2 Timothy 1

I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. Mark 2:17

City health workers in San Francisco are taking medical care to the streets to supply the homeless who are suffering from opioid addiction with medicine to treat their addiction. The program began in response to the rising number of homeless who are injecting. Customarily, doctors wait for patients to come to a clinic. By taking medical care to the afflicted instead, patients don’t have to overcome the challenges of transportation or needing to remember the appointment.

The health workers’ willingness to go to those in need of care reminds me of the way Jesus has come to us in our need. In His ministry, Jesus sought out those who the religious elite were quick to ignore: He ate with “sinners and tax collectors” (Mark 2:16). When asked why He would do that, Jesus replied, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick” (v. 17). He went on to say that His intention was to call sinners, not the righteous, into relationship with Him.

When we realize that we’re all “sick” and in need of a doctor (Romans 3:10), we can better appreciate Jesus’s willingness to eat with the “sinners and tax collectors”—us. In turn, like the health care workers in San Francisco, Jesus appointed us as His “street team” to take His saving message to others in need.

Reflect & Pray

How did Jesus seek you out? To whom can you take the medicine of Jesus?

Thank You, Jesus, for meeting me in my condition.

Wow, very pretty blue eyes!
The Siamese is such a beautiful cat.

Had busy weekend. Got a part time job, interviewed on Saturday.

Also got first place in a horse riding competition on Saturday! My first time competing. It was a class for Walk, Trot and Backing Up ability.

The other “class” I was in , was the egg and spoon race while riding. I walked fine but lost the egg in the trot. The winner could canter with the egg!

Cheers!

[luvie]

Sounds you had a very productive weekend. Congrats both on the new job and on the award for horse riding!

Walk Like a Warrior

Bible in a Year:

• Jeremiah 15–17
• 2 Timothy 2

When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” Judges 6:12

Eighteen-year-old Emma faithfully talks about Jesus on social media, even though bullies have criticized her joy and enthusiastic love for Christ. Some have attacked her with remarks about her physical appearance. Others have suggested a lack of intelligence because of her devotion to God. Though the unkind words cut deep into Emma’s heart, she continues to spread the gospel with bold faith and love for Jesus and others. Sometimes, though, she’s tempted to believe her identity and worth are determined by the criticism of others. When that happens, she asks God for help, prays for her persecutors, meditates on the words of Scripture, and perseveres with Spirit-empowered courage and confidence.

Gideon faced fierce tormentors—the Midianites (Judges 6:1–10). Though God called him a “mighty warrior,” Gideon struggled to let go of his doubt, self-imposed limitations, and insecurities (vv. 11–15). On more than one occasion, he questioned the Lord’s presence and his own qualifications, but eventually surrendered in faith.

When we trust God, we can live like we believe what He says about us is true. Even when persecution tempts us to doubt our identity, our loving Father confirms His presence and fights on our behalf. He affirms we can walk like mighty warriors armed with His absolute love, guarded by His endless grace, and secured in His reliable truth.

By:  Xochitl Dixon

Reflect & Pray

Which verses help you remain steadfast when you’re tempted to doubt your identity and worth? What can you do to combat verbal attacks?

God, please help us recall Your love and respond in grace every time someone tempts us to doubt our value or question our unique roles.
