About God
At God's command amazing things happen,
wonderful things that we can't understand. ~ Job 37:5 (GNT)
For all things were created by him, and all things exist through him and for him. To God be the glory forever! Amen. ~ Romans 11:36 (GNT)
KEY THOUGHT:
Everything revolves around God and his agenda.
PRAYER:
Glory to you, God. Everything revolves around you and your agenda. But I'm still some what deluded enough to function as though it's all about me. Reshape my outlook. There is so much I'll never understand. It's best that I leave reality in your hands. 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
