How foolish can you be?
He is the Potter, and he is certainly greater than you, the clay!
Should the created thing say of the one who made it,
“He didn’t make me”?
Does a jar ever say,
“The potter who made me is stupid”?
EPHESIANS 2:10 (GNT)
God has made us what we are, and in our union with Christ Jesus he has created us for a life of good deeds, which he has already prepared for us to do.
THE ESSENCE
God made us.
DAILY FODDER
God made us. Let the implcations of that sink in.
PRAYER
Creator God, you are worthy of all recognition and praise. Unfortunately, we redirect most of that recognition and praise to ourselves. We are quite adept at leaving you out of the picture — even reasoning that we know more than you. Do whatever it takes to turn our foolishness around so that we're trusting you, our maker, our superior, for every aspect of our lives. Only then does life start to make sense. 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.
