God is wise and powerful—
who could possibly
oppose him and win?
You are only a human being. Who do you think you are to talk back to God?
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Even though God graciously makes himself available to us that doesn't mean that we're on the same level.
DAILY FODDER
Have you ever told God what he should do? How did that work out?
PRAYER
Gracious God, because you are so accessible it is easy for me to slide into presumptuousness -- to act like my opinion is equal to yours. I confess that I pretend to know more than I do so that I can save face and get ahead in the world. Gently help me put things in perspective so that I can become less concerned about advancing my own agenda and more committed to listening to you. I'm going to do less talking and more listening, 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.
