Passage:Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2 so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God. 3 For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. 4 With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you; 5 but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.(1 Peter Song:Yet Not I But Through Christ in Me by Jonny Robinson, Michael Farren, and Rich ThompsonLyrics: What gift of grace is Jesus my redeemerThere is no more for heaven now to giveHe is my joy my righteousness and freedomMy steadfast love my deep and boundless peaceTo this I hold my hope is only JesusFor my life is wholly bound to hisOh how strange and divine I can sing all is mineYet not I but through Christ in meThe night is dark but I am not forsakenFor by my side the Saviour he will stayI labour on in weakness and rejoicingFor in my need his power is displayedTo this I hold my Shepherd will defend meThrough the deepest valley he will leadOh the night has been won and I shall overcomeYet not I but through Christ in meNo fate I dread I know I am forgivenThe future sure the price it has been paidFor Jesus bled and suffered for my pardonAnd he was raised to overthrow the graveTo this I hold my sin has been defeatedJesus now and ever is my pleaOh the chains are released I can sing I am freeYet not I but through Christ in meWith every breath I long to follow JesusFor he has said that he will bring me homeAnd day by day I know he will renew meUntil I stand with joy before the throneTo this I hold my hope is only JesusAll the glory evermore to himWhen the race is complete still my lips shall repeatYet not I but through Christ in meWhen the race is complete still my lips shall repeatYet not I but through Christ in meYet not I but through Christ in mePrayer:This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.
