JEREMIAH 8:9 (MSG)
Your religion experts have taken you for a ride!
Your know-it-alls will be unmasked,
caught and shown up for what they are.
Look at them! They know everything but God’s Word.
HEBREWS 2:1 (CEV)
We must give our full attention to what we were told, so that we won’t drift away.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Give your full attention to what God says or you'll end up falling in line behind a huckster.
PRAYER
Thank you, Lord, for so freely sharing your wisdom with your people. I acknowledge that at times I don't pay close attention to what you've shared. It's so easy to get distracted by everything new and shiny. Help me to focus so that I'm giving my full attention to you and your ways. I reject all that is false -- even though it is popular. Through Christ Jesus, I'm going to stay the course with you. Amen.
Since 2006, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
