PSALM 97:1 (CEB)
The LORD rules! Let the earth rejoice!
Let all the islands celebrate!
ROMANS 14:17 (ABP)
God's kingdom isn't centered on what you eat or drink -- how well you keep some dietary rules. Rather it's all about the goodness, the peace, and the joy that the Holy Spirit is generating.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Get on board with the kingdom that God is enacting.
PRAYER
Holy Lord, your righteousness places me in the center of your kingdom, which fulfills my appetite for the food of this world. Forgive me for seeking peace and satisfaction in other places. Give me joy in the midst of these despairing days and bring me to the green pastures of your word. 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.
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
