PSALM 74:21 (CEB)
Don’t let the oppressed live in shame. No, let the poor and needy praise your name!
LUKE 1:58 (CEB)
Elizabeth's neighbors and relatives celebrated with her because they had heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Celebrate God's mercy!
PRAYER
Gracious God, with you mercy is not a one-time event or exception. It is your way of being. While you are eager to save people from their shame, I confess that I'm too often indifferent to the pain of others. I'm way more concerned about the next exciting thing on my calendar. Rekindle your mercy in my life so that those around me might be renewed. Amen.
LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
