JEREMIAH 15:16 (MSG)
When your words showed up, I ate them—
swallowed them whole. What a feast!
What delight I took in being yours,
O GOD, GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies!
JOHN 15:10 (MSG)
If you keep my commands, you’ll remain intimately at home in my love.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
When we fully internalize God's commands so they become intertwined with who we are, serving him is sheer delight.
PRAYER
Thank you, generous God, for your commands. I tend to push back when I'm told what to do but I've grown to appreciate the impact of obedience. I feel at home with you and delight in what you're doing. Help me to find myself by losing myself in you. 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.
