GOD IS GREAT!

The Fourth Sunday in Advent

PSALM 40:16 (CEB)
But let all who seek you
celebrate and rejoice in you.
Let those who love your salvation always say,
“The LORD is great!”


EPHESIANS 1:5 (NLT)
God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Celebrate what our great God has done for us through Christ Jesus.

PRAYER
Thank you, great God, for adding me into your family. I fail to express my gratitude for your extreme kindness. And I forget to extend similar grace to those around me. Keep reminding me of who I am and I'm sure that eventually I'll get it. A big shout-out to you great God! Amen
