JOB 9:10 (CEV)
Of all the miracles God works,
we cannot understand a one.
EPHESIANS 1:3 (NLT)
All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
The gifts from God are too numerous to calculate and too deep to understand. Mystery.
DAILY FODDER
Why does God do things for us that we'll never be able to fully understand or appreciate? What does this suggest about how we pursue our relationship with him?
PRAYER
Generous God, your activity is greater and deeper than what I realize. I admit that I try to appear to be a God-expert, pursuing and freely offering explainations. Sometimes I even convince myself that I know what you’re up to. But really, I'm pretty clueless. I do want to grow in appreciation so that I can better acknowledge your miracles, blessings, and generosity. Might such humble appreciation flow through my connection with Christ Jesus. 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 in heaven.
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!
