Because God’s faithful love toward us is strong,
the Lord’s faithfulness lasts forever!
Praise the LORD!
ACTS 2:5, 7, 11 (NLT)
At that time there were devout Jews from every nation living in Jerusalem... They were completely amazed... “We all hear these people speaking in our own languages about the wonderful things God has done!”
THE ESSENCE
The activity of God generates amazement in the lives of devoted people.
DAILY FODDER
Or is it that the amazing activity of God generates devotion? It’s kind of like the question, "Which comes first, the chicken or the egg?"
PRAYER
God of my astonished heart, thank you for overcoming my language barrier. You speak your steadfast love to me in ways I can receive it. I am amazed that you choose to remain faithful to a scattered and unfaithful people. Please strengthen my ability to reach out and reach in to find the words that unite humanity in you. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground 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.
