WITHOUT END

PSALM 102:27 (ABP)
Even though the people and your creation all end up perishing, you, God, are the one who goes on and on without end. You transcend time and decay.

REVELATION 1:4 (NLT)
Grace and peace to you from the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come...

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God transcends time and decay so we should bank with him.

PRAYER
Eternally stable God, I recognize your existence and honor you because of your enduring presence. I admit that I allow myself to get discouraged by the decline of people and institutions in which I have invested portions of my life. Pull me from the muck of discouragement and set me up on the safe place with you. Even though my body is in decline I'm going to spend my life with you. There is a future in your presence so I am not in the least bit worried. 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.
