1 KINGS 8:66 (CEV)
They said goodbye and left, very happy, because of all the good things the LORD had done for his servant David and his people Israel.
LUKE 2:16-17 (NLT)
They hurried to the village and found Mary and Joseph. And there was the baby, lying in the manger. After seeing him, the shepherds told everyone what had happened and what the angel had said to them about this child.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
When we have a good news encounter it is natural to celebrate what has happened.
PRAYER
Good God, thank you for coming into the world and sharing in our humanity. Your presence is the good news that changes everything. Forgive me for getting caught up in the echo chamber of bad news that does nothing to advance your agenda for the world. Help me to dial down the negativity and celebrate your goodness and how it is playing out in the world. I'm going to be a good news person. 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 2006, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
