PSALM 147:1 (CEB)
Praise the LORD!
Because it is good to sing praise to our God!
Because it is a pleasure to make beautiful praise!
EPHESIANS 5:19 (CEV)
When you meet together, sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, as you praise the Lord with all your heart.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Whatever you're doing, use it as an opportunity to truly give praise to God.
PRAYER
I admit, Lord, that you are worthy of all our attention -- all the honor -- all the respect -- all the praise. Yet, it's so hard to let go of the desire to make everything about ourselves. I even do it in subtle ways. Forgive my misdirected energy and free me to direct my praise to you. I want to be that person who can continually praise you without being obnoxious -- who can praise you without the trite cliches that are all about keeping up appearances. Amen.
THE 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.
