Wednesday, May 23 — Psalm 68:19–27
Numbers 12:1–13:16; Mark 13:14–27
One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty and one whose temper is controlled than one who captures a city. Proverbs 16:32
Let us then pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding. Romans 14:19
God of peace, your word tells us we must not only seek peace, but pursue it. Grant us the faith to trust in you, so that we may lay down our arms. Give
us the strength to make peace, so that we may be blessed. We thank you for all your faithful servants who have taught us the way of peace and justice, especially your son, Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray. Amen.
