1 KINGS 8:56 (ABP)
Praise God! This restful era of peace demonstrates that he keeps his promises.
HEBREWS 4:9 (NLT)
So there is a special rest still waiting for the people of God.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Eventually, God's peace wins out and we'll enter into the era of eternal rest.
PRAYER
Prince of Peace, thank you for the moments of peace which point us toward what's coming. I admit that I get caught up in the anxiety of the moment and lose sight of what's to come. Help me to experience your peace right now as the down-payment on the rest for which I long. I'm going to allow you to transform me into an agent of Christ's peace. 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.
