NEW

ISAIAH 11:1 (MSG)
A green Shoot will sprout from Jesse’s stump,
from his roots a budding Branch.

REVELATION 22:16 (MSG)
I, Jesus... am the Root and Branch of David, the Bright Morning Star.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Jesus is the fresh new growth from old and deep roots.

PRAYER
Bright Morning Star, new day, new growth -- Jesus, you're all about new beginnings. Forgive me for getting stuck in my old ways and failing to see just how new your approach is. Release me from my fear of new and unfamiliar situations. Help me to grasp how new and radical your grace is. I'm going to trust that through the cross and resurrection you are still making all things new. 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.
