Verse of the day

But those who want to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains.
– 1 Timothy 6:9-10

Voice of the day

It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it.
– Aung San Suu Kyi, “Freedom from Fear” (1991)

Prayer of the day

God, guard our hearts from the love of wealth and the fear of losing power, that we may remain faithful and free from the ruin that selfish desires bring.
