  The Fifth Commandment Invocation Text/Memory You shall not murder. What does this mean?  We should fear and love God so that we do not hurt or harm our neighbor in his body, but help and support him in every physical need. Devotional Thought The Central Thought “God created us to care about other people and to help them in their times of need.” Do you remember the story of the Good Samaritan? It’s in Luke 10 and starts at verse 25 if you want to check it out. In the story a man gets hurt and two other men – religious leaders who should have stopped to help him – walked right by. The man who stopped was a Samaritan – someone who was hated at the time! But he created people to care and help others. The Lord’s Prayer Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into t...

  The Fifth Commandment Invocation Text/Memory You shall not murder. What does this mean?  We should fear and love God so that we do not hurt or harm our neighbor in his body, but help and support him in every physical need. Devotional Thought Petition What kinds of things do people need to take care of their physical lives? Clothes? Shoes? Food? Do they need education to have a good life? Do people need money to pay their bills? Do they need fair systems to succeed? One of the things we can pray for is for God to give people what they need. It might sound something like: “O God, there are a lot of people getting hurt and harmed in our world. Help everyone to have the things they need to live this life. Where I can, use me to help others. In Jesus’s name. Amen.” The Lord’s Prayer Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as...

The Fifth Commandment Invocation Text/Memory You shall not murder. What does this mean?  We should fear and love God so that we do not hurt or harm our neighbor in his body, but help and support him in every physical need. Devotional Thought Confession What does this commandment give us to confess? Have you ever thought about the physical needs of others? When your parents are tired, do you help them? It isn’t just hitting or hurting, or even killing, that breaks this commandment. Jesus says that even hating someone breaks this commandment. Confess your sins to God and remember: Jesus died and rose for your so your sins are forgiven.   The Lord’s Prayer Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom an...

The Fifth Commandment Invocation Text/Memory You shall not murder. What does this mean?  We should fear and love God so that we do not hurt or harm our neighbor in his body, but help and support him in every physical need. Devotional Thought Thanksgiving In Psalm 139, the psalmist praises God because he in “fearfully and wonderfully made.” Have you ever thought about what a miracle you are? Think about your fingers and toes, the things you can do with them: writing, throwing, eating, even just waving. Or how about your sense of smell and taste – amazing, and these can bring us so much pleasure. Or how about your eyes – the way they translate light into images we can understand. Thank God for our bodies and His care for them!   The Lord’s Prayer Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass again...

This week has been really busy, so I didn't get to record the devotions, but you know what to do!  The Fifth Commandment Invocation Text/Memory You shall not murder. What does this mean?  We should fear and love God so that we do not hurt or harm our neighbor in his body, but help and support him in every physical need. Devotional Thought Instruction When God says, “You shall not murder,” He means much more than actual killing. He doesn’t want us to harm another person’s body – nor should we harm our own. Sometimes people act like these bodies don’t matter, and that it is only spiritual things we should worry about, but God gave us our bodies and created us to be both body and soul, so we should not hurt or harm people. The Lord’s Prayer Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; ...
