The First Sunday in the Season of Christmas
PSALM 40:4 (CEB)
Those who put their trust in the LORD,
who pay no attention to the proud
or to those who follow lies,
are truly happy!
2 PETER 1:19 (CEV)
All of this makes us even more certain that what the prophets said is true. So you should pay close attention to their message, as you would to a lamp shining in some dark place. You must keep on paying attention until daylight comes and the morning star rises in your hearts.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
The year 2021 will be a year to learn how to pay closer attention to God's messages and his message to us.
PRAYER
Gracious God, you sent your Son in the world to change everything -- including me. Forgive me for being such a hit-and-miss follower. Teach me how I can pay closer attention to your word. I'm committing the next year to learning what you are up to. I'm going to gravitate toward your light during the dark times. Amen.
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
