Thank you for your love,
thank you for your faithfulness;
Most holy is your name,
most holy is your Word.
1 PETER 1:23 (NLT)
For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
The eternal living word of God is the source of our new forever lives.
DAILY FODDER
In this context what exactly is "the eternal living word of God"? If you knew that you were already living an eternal life, how would that change the way you go about living today?
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for Christ the living Word, who establishes us in our forever lives. I don't fully understand the implications of forever, so I get hung up on the ever-changing temporal crisis of the moment. Speak to me through your written word so that I might more fully see what you're graciously doing on our behalf. I'm going to live now recognizing that death is merely a portal into the greater part of my life. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
We hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening there.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil.
Amen!
