1 Passage: 1 Peter 2:11-17
1 Verse: Verse 11. Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul.
1 Prayer: Father, You know I don't belong here. This is not my home, my country. My citizenship is in heaven. My King is Jesus Christ, raised to the right hand of Your throne where he rules in authority over every other power that can be named, either in heaven or on earth. I'm trying to keep the peace in this place, but I'm an alien and stranger. I'm at a disadvantage here. My opponents are the home team -- it's their field, their turf, they know the terrain. I'm still trying to find my way. So please help me. Tell me, how do I honor You by honoring those who dishonor You by dishonoring those You have also commanded me to honor?
Tomorrow's passage: Psalm 23:1-6

1 Passage: 1 Peter 2:11-17
1 Verse: Verse 17, "Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king."
1 Prayer: Father, I must admit that honoring all people is a tuff one for me. From my perspective some do not deserve to be honored but rather dishonored. Help me to remember that the dishonoring is Your business not mine. Help me to see people through your eyes. Help me to see their potential. Help me to remember they are all created in Your image, therefore I must honor Your creation by showing them respect.
