ISAIAH 40:15 (MSG)
All the nations add up to simply nothing before him—
less than nothing is more like it. A minus.
REVELATION 21:3 (CEB)
I heard a loud voice from the throne say, "Look! God’s dwelling is here with humankind. He will dwell with them, and they will be his peoples. God himself will be with them as their God."
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Don't pursue the attention of the fleeting powerful, but look to please God who is coming to establish himself among us.
PRAYER
Glorious God, thank you for caring so much that you'd not only save the world but that you'd set in motion plans to relocate your headquarters into our midst. I confess an unhealthy amount of attention devoted to keeping the currently powerful happy. Help me to redefine my priorities according to your coming Jesus-led kingdom. I'm going to make your agenda my agenda. Amen.
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
