I am GOD, the only God there is.
I form light and create darkness,
I make harmonies and create discords.
I, GOD, do all these things.
REVELATION 1:18 (NLT)
I am the living one. I died, but look—I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Jesus is the forever Power who holds the keys to life and death.
DAILY FODDER
Death will never catch up with Jesus; and when we hook up with him he shares with us the benefits of his power, and his victory over all attempts to drag him down.
PRAYER
Almighty Savior, death couldn't hold you. Forgive me for despairing when I see the forces of death as they express themslves in our modern world—hatred, polarization, tyranny, war, greed, racism, poverty... I wallow in the hopelessness of the news ignoring the hope that comes from living with a conquering Savior. Help me to tune out the despair and allow the hope that is you control my mind and my actions. I recognize that the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. 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 will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
