Day 7 - Action

Scripture for Reflection and Preparation 

Matthew 5:13-16
“13 ‘you are the salt of the earth. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty? it’s no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled on by men. 14 you are the light of the world. a city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house. 16 in the same way, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.’” 

1 Timothy 2:1-4 1 First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, 2 for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. 3 This is good, and it pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
