GOD, continue to disburse your kind and unfailing love, as you've been doing forever.
TITUS 3:4-5 (MSG)
But when God, our kind and loving Savior God, stepped in, he saved us from all that. It was all his doing; we had nothing to do with it. He gave us a good bath, and we came out of it new people, washed inside and out by the Holy Spirit. Our Savior Jesus poured out new life so generously.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Through God's kind and unrelenting love, Jesus' new life washes through and renews us.
DAILY FODDER
What difference does it make that we look to God for transformation instead of making it happen from within ourselves?
PRAYER
Merciful God, I'm thankful that you have taken on the task of my growth and transformation. Yes, I get to cooperate but I don't have to make it happen. Forgive me for when I feel like I need to slip into the driver's seat to get things going on my own. I desperately need the kind of renewal that can only come from you. So, it is to you and your love that I turn. 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 will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
