A THOUSAND YEARS

PSALM 90:4 (MSG)
You’ve got all the time in the world—whether
a thousand years or a day, it’s all the same to you.


LUKE 1:50 (CEB)
He shows mercy to everyone,
from one generation to the next,
who honors him as God.


SUMMARY SENTENCE
God's perspective and patience are so vast that he can afford to extend his mercy to all who'd recognize him as their God -- without the constraints of time or borders.

PRAYER
God of creation, you stand watch always, never losing sight of those you love. When I feel lost, remind me of the grace shown to the saints who came before me. Teach me to live for those who will come after me. Give me the faith to remember that all of my days are held in your eternity. 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.
