ALL POWERFUL

JEREMIAH 32:27 (CEB)
I am the Lord, the God of all living things! Is anything too hard for me?

MATTHEW 28:17-18 (CEV)
On the mountain they saw Jesus and worshiped him, but some of them did not believe it was really Jesus. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All power in heaven and on earth is given to me."

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Jesus is the one with all the power, so act accordingly.

DAILY FODDER
What would you do differently if your best friend was the most powerful being in the world? 

PRAYER
Jesus, I acknowledge that all power in heaven, earth, and everywhere  between, belongs to you. I'm in awe that you have chosen me to be among your friends. Forgive me for kissing up to the powerbrokers of the world. They don't have your authority, yet I pay too much attention to them. Free me from their influence. I want to know what it's like to live with you as my primary authority. Amen. 

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 will protect us from all forms of evil. 
Amen.
