Weekly Nurture Devotion
August 30: Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost
Read Exodus 1:1-15
When God called to Moses through a bush that was on fire but not burning us, God told Moses to take off his sandals for he was standing on “holy ground.” While we may not literally take off our shoes, what “ground” for you is “holy,” that is set apart as a place where God meets you? It could be a special place or with special people or engaging in a special activity or something else.

PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION
O Lord, open our minds as the Gospel is read and your Word is proclaimed, transforming us into faith-filled disciples who bear witness to your greatness in all we do and say. Amen.
EPISTLE 2Peter 1:5-11
For this very reason, you must make every effort to support your faith with excellence, and excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with endurance, and endurance with godliness, and godliness with mutual affection, and mutual affection with love. For if these things are yours and are increasing among you, they keep you from being ineffective and unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For anyone who lacks these things is blind, suffering from eye disease, forgetful of the cleansing of past sins. Therefore, brothers and sisters, be all the more eager to confirm your call and election, for if you do this, you will never stumble. For in this way, entry into the eternal kingdom of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for you.
GOSPEL Luke 6:43-45
“No good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit; for each tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a bramble bush. The good person out of the good treasure of the heart produces good, and the evil person out of evil treasure produces evil, for it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks.
THE WORD OF THE LORD!
Thanks be to God!
