Acknowledge

Acknowledge that GOD is God -- no competition. Contrary to popular notions of self-made men he's the one who made us. So we belong to him. We are his people -- sheep under his care, in his pasture. ~ Psalm 100:3 (ABP)

In fact, God isn’t far away from any of us. In God we live, move, and exist. ~ Acts 17:27-28 (CEB)

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Acknowledge that God keeps us close to himself so that we can live rich lives.

PRAYER
Thank you, God, for paying attention to me. Indeed, in spite of my negligence toward you, you continue to hold things together and to fill my life with wonder and delight. Help me to more freely acknowledge your role in my life. I'm going to enjoy the life that you have given to me. Amen.
