GOD IS NEAR

PSALM 75:1 (CEV)
Our God, we thank you
for being so near to us!
Everyone celebrates
your wonderful deeds.


ACTS 17:27 (CEV)
God has done all this, so that we will look for him and reach out and find him. He isn’t far from any of us...

SUMMARY SENTENCE

God is near -- live accordingly.

PRAYER
God, thank you for the times when we can feel your breath, see your handiwork, and taste your delights! In Christ, you have prepared a feast, a mosaic of miracles. Forgive me when I ignore every present blessing. You are in every atom and individual. Use me to bring out your colors and melodies today. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
