GOD DOES GREAT THINGS

PSALM 71:15 (ABP)
I'll talk all day long telling people about all the great things you do to save your people. The reality is that if I could figure out all that you've done and then started to list it all I couldn't possibly count that high.


LUKE 1:49 (NLT)
For the Mighty One is holy,
and he has done great things for me.


SUMMARY SENTENCE
God has done so much for me that I can't possibly be aware or count it all.

DAILY FODDER
What "small" thing has God done for you this week?

PRAYER
Powerful God, you've done so much for me that I can't possibly thank you enough. Forgive me for all the times that it is obvious and I'm so lost in my own world that I don't notice what you've done. Generate greater awareness so that my gratitude bubbles over into everyday conversation and you end up receiving all the appropriate recognition. You are beyond comprehension. Amen. (Daily TextsGround 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 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.
