The Ninth Day of Christmas
You, the Lord our God, are our only hope. ~ Jeremiah 14:22 (ERV)
Through faith in Jesus we have received God’s grace. In that grace we stand. We are full of joy because we expect to share in God’s glory. ~ Romans 5:2 (NIRV)
God, you are generous and kind. You sent your son Jesus into the world to restore our relationship with you. He is our only hope. He is the way that we access your grace. Even though we still sin and act as though we can make everything right ourselves, deep inside we know that only Jesus can heal us. So we ask you to forgive us and to fill us with the kind of joy that comes from knowing we have a good future. I am planning to let that hope and joy slosh over into everything I do today. Amen.
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
