THE LORD IS GREAT

PSALM 40:16 (NLT)
But may all who search for you
     be filled with joy and gladness in you.
May those who love your salvation
      repeatedly shout, “The LORD is great!”

ACTS 2:46-47 (CEB)
Every day, they met together in the temple and ate in their homes. They shared food with gladness and simplicity. They praised God and demonstrated God’s goodness to everyone. The Lord added daily to the community those who were being saved.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
The Lord is great! Let that reality define your life today.

PRAYER
Lord God, whether at home or in a holy place, you create rich fellowship. I thank you for bread broken, food shared, hearts unburdened, and time together. My heart is glad. I confess that I often take this for granted. Out of my bounty, give me an opportunity to share and invite others to do the same. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)

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.
