Now then, dedicate yourselves to seeking the LORD your God.
JOHN 1:45 (MSG)
Philip went and found Nathanael and told him, “We’ve found the One Moses wrote of in the Law, the One preached by the prophets. It’s Jesus, Joseph’s son, the one from Nazareth!”
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Life is about seeking the Lord.
DAILY FODDER
It's too bad that the editors of the Moravian Daily Texts didn't include John 1:46 where "Nathanael said, 'Nazareth? You’ve got to be kidding.'" Isn't that the way it often goes? We can't be thrown off track when God reveals his answers in ways we didn't expect.
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for being available. For those who seek, you are easy to find because it turns out that you've been chasing us. But we "play hard to get." Help me to integrate God-seeking into my daily life so that I can grow in my relationship with Christ Jesus, the Savior who came to us to save us. As I open my eyes I expect to see you regularly. 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.
