THE MYSTERY

DEUTERONOMY 3:24 (MSG)
GOD, my Master, you let me in on the beginnings, you let me see your greatness, you let me see your might...

COLOSSIANS 1:27 (CEV)
God did this because he wanted you Gentiles to understand his wonderful and glorious mystery. And the mystery is that Christ lives in you, and he is your hope of sharing in God’s glory.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God is full of wonderful mystery, some of which he shares with us.

PRAYER
Glorious God, thank you for sending Christ to live in us. I can't pretend to understand how that works nor all the implications of his presence. But it fills me with hope. Help me to slow down enough so that I can begin to see the wonder of your plan as you slowly pull back the curtain. I'm going to rely on you to show me exactly what I need to see. Amen.
