CREATIVE

ISAIAH 48:13 (GNT)
My hands made the earth's foundations
and spread the heavens out.
When I summon earth and sky,
they come at once and present themselves.


REVELATION 4:11 (GNT)
“Our Lord and God! You are worthy
to receive glory, honor, and power.
For you created all things,
and by your will they were given existence and life.”

THE ESSENCE
God, the Creator, is worthy of our attention and honor. 

DAILY FODDER
Why is the Creator more worthy of our attention and honor than any other being? How do you carry out your assignment to give him attention and honor? 

PRAYER
Your creative power, God, overflows in all things you have made. I ask one thing from you — create in me a clean heart. Help me to live as one of your grateful creatures, dependent on you alone. May my life be lived for your glory, and for the wellbeing of all. Amen. (Daily TextsGround Up Grace edition)

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.
