ISAIAH 63:15 (MSG)
Look down from heaven, look at us!
Look out the window of your holy and magnificent house!
Whatever happened to your passion,
your famous mighty acts,
Your heartfelt pity, your compassion?
GALATIANS 5:5 (NLT)
But we who live by the Spirit eagerly wait to receive by faith the righteousness God has promised to us.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
By faith we continually put one foot in front of the other, trusting that God is going to act in accordance with his promises.
DAILY FODDER
What are you expecting God to do with his world? With you?
PRAYER
From your glorious perch, O God, look down upon us with your mercy. Your world is a mess, having rejected both your direction and your grace. Please don't crush us! We're trusting that Christ will return and set things right. Help me to live according to that promise and without angst. Gently restrain my impulses to fix everything myself. I'm going to eagerly wait for your justice to mercifully reshape the world and your righteousness to bloom in 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 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!
