WEDNESDAY – The Saints, Martyrs and Missionaries of Asia   

The author of Second Peter urges us to remember the truth (3:1-2). Every Christian needs to be reminded of the need for holy living and thinking. Peter wants us to remember and apply to our lives what the Old Testament prophets said long ago and what the Lord Jesus commanded through the apostles. We never outgrow the need for reminders  On this day when the church commemorates the Martys and Missionaries of Asia, and in particular Francis Xavier, we recall how Peters words  were lived out by these holy men and women who never forgot that the Lord being patient for our sake. He doesn’t want anyone to perish, so He is giving more time for everyone to repent.

PRAYER:  Lord our God, grant that we may be bold to proclaim Christ, so that  when he comes in glory to share with his own  the banquet of heaven, we may be partakers. We ask this in the with the One who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit.

Activity – Today be a “Secret Santa” to someone, in the persecuted church by going to the OPEN DOORS Web site and texting a bible http://members.opendoorsusa.org/site/PageNavigator/Mobile_Giving

In this way you will bring Christ and meet a need without them knowing.
