A few months back at a Sunday service I mentioned the Losungen, a daily watchword read by over a million believers worldwide. Although published by the Moravian Church, believers from many denominations share in this tradition. If you would like to hear the story behind this practice, you can learn more here. There is also an option to subscribe to a daily update by e mail, as I do.
Incidentally, the photo above left is of a handwork tradition very popular in Europe, called Moravian stars. They are especially used for decoration during Advent.
From the Losungen, here is this week's watchword:
Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost
Watchword for the Week
The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the
Lord is clear, enlightening the eyes. Psalm 19:8
