EXPECTATIONS

JEREMIAH 31:34 (CEV)
No longer will they have to teach one another to obey me. I, the LORD, promise that all of them will obey me, ordinary people and rulers alike. I will forgive their sins and forget the evil things they have done.

JOHN 6:28-29 (CEV)

“What exactly does God want us to do?” the people asked.
Jesus answered, “God wants you to have faith in the one he sent.”

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God's expectations are the same for all people -- that we put our trust in Christ Jesus.

PRAYER
God of the least and the greatest, thank you for loving all people and for loving me. I am grateful that you make yourself known to me. Knowing you, I believe in you. Believing in you, I trust in you. Trusting you, I am eager to serve the least and the greatest of people. Help me love them well. 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.
