PSALM 117:1 (ABP)
Whoever you are, wherever you're from, join us in praising GOD. Come on, everyone, praise him!
ACTS 2:11 (ABP)
The Jewish people from all over the world who were gathered in Jerusalem for Pentecost exclaimed, "We're hearing in our own languages everything that these preachers are saying about all the wonderful things God has done!”
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God's invitation to experience what he is doing is open to everyone -- regardless of who they are or where they're from.
DAILY FODDER
How do I participate in God's priority of global inclusivity while living in a world which is prioritizing tribal and national identity?
PRAYER
God, it's been clear from the beginning that your vision for renewing the world is greater than what we can fathom. It sometimes makes me uncomfortable to have to consider the needs of people who don't fit neatly into my personal world. I can barely keep things together as it is, let alone have to deal with people who don't speak English or who dress so differently. Send your Spirit to empower us -- me -- for global living. I want to be a part of the worldwide choir singing your praises every day from now through eternity. 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.
Whoever you are, wherever you're from, join us in praising GOD. Come on, everyone, praise him!
