Don't rip your clothes
to show your sorrow.
Instead, turn back to me
with broken hearts.
1 CORINTHIANS 6:20 (ABP)
God paid a lot for you. So give God a solid return on his investment by using your body to honor him.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Do a thorough turn to God.
DAILY FODDER
Why is it so challenging to turn to God on more than a shallow suface level? Read the rest of 1 Corinthians 6 to learn how God has responded on our behalf to this challenge.
PRAYER
Generous God, you must love us a lot to pay for us with the life of your Son. Forgive our half-ass responses to your kindness. Through your ever-present Spirit draw me deeper into the Christ-shaped life. I want everything about me—my thoughts, words, and actions—to honor you. You are most worthy. 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 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.
