Do it so none of the nations can say,
“Where now, oh where is their God?”
Our God is in heaven
doing whatever he wants to do.
ACTS 17:30 (NLT)
God overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Ignorance of God is no excuse for arrogance.
PRAYER
God, you've summoned all people to turn from ignorance and to you. But we, including me, tend to pontificate on what we expect a real God to do. We make ourselves out to be judges over you. Put us in our place, even if it is painful. I know that you are the only real God and are worthy of my full allegiance. 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.
