CORE VALUES

PSALM 89:14 (CEB)
Your throne is built on righteousness and justice; loyal love and faithfulness stand in front of you.

COLOSSIANS 3:12 (NLT)
Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
The core values of God's kingdom are totally unique because they are rooted in the character of God himself.

PRAYER
King God, I'm frustrated when I see the political realities of the world in which I live. But I'm inspired when I see how unique your kingdom is. Sometimes it all feels so out of reach for me. It would take a miracle to transform me into such a holy person that my life is characterized by righteousness, justice, unwavering love, faithfulness, mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. That's such a tall order and the only way that I can live as a chosen person is if you make it happen. So, that is what I'm asking of you. Realign my life with your kingdom values. I'm looking forward to the true change that comes as Christ lives through me. 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.
