GOD'S DOING
PSALM 147:5 (MSG)
Our Lord is great, with limitless strength;
we’ll never comprehend what he knows and does.
MARK 10:27 (MSG)
Jesus was blunt: “No chance at all if you think you can pull it off by yourself. Every chance in the world if you let God do it.”
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Step out of the way and let God do his thing.
PRAYER
God, you are Almighty. Sometimes I pretend that I'm powerful and calling all the shots. Sometimes I even convince myself that this is actually true. Help me to step out of your way without stepping out of the picture. I want to be a part of what YOU’RE doing. Amen.
