John & Charles Wesley, Renewers of the Church

Lord, I am so thankful for your gifts of wisdom and understanding. With these gifts, let us seek to bring consolation and healing to those who are hurting and confused. Through us your gifts bring the light of your gospel to our darkened world. Help me use these gifts today to the glory of your holy name. Amen.
(From "Daily Texts")

1 O my people, hear my teaching;
listen to the words of my mouth.
2 I will open my mouth in parables,
I will utter hidden things, things from of old-
3 what we have heard and known,
what our fathers have told us.
4 We will not hide them from their children;
we will tell the next generation
the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD,
his power, and the wonders he has done.
6 So the next generation would know them,
even the children yet to be born,
and they in turn would tell their children.
7 Then they would put their trust in God
and would not forget his deeds
but would keep his commands.
Psalm 78 New International Version
