Making right
Rest assured that justice is on its way
and every good heart put right. ~ Psalm 94:15 (MSG)
...let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. ~ Matthew 5:16 (NLT)
KEY THOUGHT:
God will make all things right.
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, you are worthy of our recognition. And I am grateful that through Christ you are making the world right again. Forgive me for allowing the trouble in the world to create doubt in me. Renew my trust in your justice so that I can be a point of light breaking through the dark chaos, directing people to you. 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
