GOD'S ACTIONS

PSALM 150:2 (CEV)
Praise our God!
His deeds are wonderful,
too marvelous to describe.


ROMANS 1:20 (CEB)
Ever since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities—God’s eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, because they are understood through the things God has made. So humans are without excuse.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God's actions through creation speak loudly (to those willing to listen).

DAILY FODDER
How has the created environment spoken to you today about who God is?

PRAYER
All earth and heaven sing of your glory, O God. I am grateful to join the chorus of creation. I regret that I don't always pause to enjoy the holy harmony that hums around me. In this moment, help me to listen to the ways the environment surrounding me sings your praise. Maybe that's enough for today. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)

THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
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!
