HONOR
JOB 19:25
I know that my redeemer lives.
JOHN 12:28 (ABP)
Anticipating the trouble ahead Jesus prayed, "Father, through all of this might your name be honored!”
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Give God our redeemer the credit to which he is due.
PRAYER
Living God, who deserves our adoration. I am thankful for your real presence as well as the perfect example you sent through your Son, Jesus. When my voice is weak and I am timid, remind me of your Son. Give me the confidence to boldly and joyfully glorify your name. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
*ABOUT THE
DAILY TEXTS
The Daily Texts have been published by the Moravian Church since 1731. In 2015 I started posting these Bible verses for my spiritual formation students at Pacific Islands University. In the process of responding to the verses, I found the rhythm of looking for a common thread and writing a prayer based on that key idea to be helpful for my own soul. The prayers are more or less modeled on the TRIP method, which is what I ask my students to do in their journaling. ~ Brad Boydston
