All people
Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord meant when he said, 'I will display my holiness
through those who come near me.
I will display my glory
before all the people.'” ~ Leviticus 10:3 (NLT)
You know the message that God has sent to the people of Israel is the Good News that peace has come through Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Lord of all people! ~ Acts 10:36 (NCV)
KEY IDEA:
Jesus is the Lord of all people!
PRAYER:
Lord, thank you for extending your hospitality to all people. You want to be known by all and honored by all. That makes sense. It does not make sense that I live as though I am the center of the universe. Help me to get over that so that I can appropriately honor you and focus on helping all people know you. I'm going to think and live as a missionary. Amen.
*ABOUT THE
DAILY TEXTS
The Daily Texts have been published by the Moravian Church since 1731. In 2015 I started posting these Bible verses for my spiritual formation students at Pacific Islands University. In the process of responding to the verses, I found the rhythm of looking for a common thread and writing a prayer based on that key idea to be helpful for my own soul. The prayers are more or less modeled on the TRIP method, which is what I ask my students to do in their journaling. ~ Brad Boydston
