PSALM 73:1 (MSG)
No doubt about it! God is good—
good to good people, good to the good-hearted.
MATTHEW 5:8 (MSG)
You’re blessed when you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right. Then you can see God in the outside world.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Good hearts are essential to relating to God.
PRAYER
God, you are truly good and you relate well to the good-hearted. I confess, though, that I'm overly concerned with external appearances and casual about the state of my heart. I'm in need of a spiritual heart transplant so that I can have the energy needed to do good. I'm trusting you for the surgery because I know that I can't possibly do this kind of operation on myself. 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.
