JOB 9:2-3 (MSG)
How can mere mortals get right with God?’
If we wanted to bring our case before him,
what chance would we have? Not one in a thousand!
MARK 12:32-34 (MSG)
The religion scholar said, “A wonderful answer, Teacher! So lucid and accurate—that God is one and there is no other. And loving him with all passion and intelligence and energy, and loving others as well as you love yourself. Why, that’s better than all offerings and sacrifices put together!”
When Jesus realized how insightful he was, he said, “You’re almost there, right on the border of God’s kingdom.”
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Make your case with love -- love for God and others.
PRAYER
Gracious God, you've made a way for us to relate to you. All I need to do is respond in love. Yet, I mess that up, too. My love is very uneven. Straighten me out so that your love can flow through me and out to all. I'm putting my trust in you and the loving sacrifice of your Son, Christ Jesus. Amen.
Since 2006, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
