EXODUS 35:29 (ABP)
All the Israelite men and women who were willing volunteered these gifts to carry out the work that GOD had through Moses commanded them to do.
1 PETER 2:5 (ABP)
Y'all are living stones being used to build a spiritual house -- a temple where you are collectively the designated priests offering Christ-approved God-pleasing sacrifices.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Sacrifices are us.
PRAYER
God, it is a great honor to participate in your work. Forgive us for treating your call as something we do at our convenience. We like the honor that goes with being your designated people but fail to get beyond that. Help us to embrace the sacrificial nature of our priestly calling. Show me what it means to be offering sacrifices to you in my situation today. I'm eager to give. 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.
