I’ll make a list of God’s gracious dealings,
all the things God has done that need praising,
All the generous bounties of God,
his great goodness to the family of Israel—
Compassion lavished,
love extravagant.
1 PETER 2:3 (ABP)
You've had a taste of the Lord's goodness.

DAILY FODDER
What are the first five items on the list of all the great things God has done for you today?
PRAYER
Generous God, your gifts exceed any list I could make. But I know that I've got to stop using that overwhelming reality as an excuse for not trying. Show me how to regularly pause and savor your goodness. Let it shape who I am and the world I'm creating around me. I'm going to spend the rest of my eternal life celebrating all of what you've done that needs praising. 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.
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!
