MYSTERIOUS GOD

ISAIAH 9:6 (MSG)
His names will be:
Amazing Counselor,
Strong God,
Eternal Father,
Prince of Wholeness.


1 JOHN 4:16 (NLT)
We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love.
God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Let the glorious mystery of who God is and what he does shape your life.

PRAYER
Glorious God, you are amazing. There is so much about you that I can't wrap my mind around. To ponder you is an eternal assignment. Yet, I'm drawn to lesser matters on a regular basis. Draw me back into contemplation so that I can continually keep you in mind. I want your character and energy to shape my life. 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.
