Direct my steps through your words, so I don’t trip over the evil and sin that dot the pathway.
1 JOHN 2:6 (ABP)
Anyone who claims to be on God's side should make it clear by living the way Jesus lived.
THE ESSENCE
Godly living is life in harmony with Jesus' life.
DAILY FODDER
So much of what is passed off as Christian is at best a homgenized version of Jesus' teaching. Mostly Christianity wouldn’t be recognized by him because we aren't really living in solidarity with him.
PRAYER
Jesus, you invite me to live in you. You live perfectly according to the law, but I cannot. I can only claim your promises. When I stray from your path, thank you for not letting sin overwhelm me. You steady me with your love and forgiveness. Today let me follow you wholeheartedly and invite someone along. 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.
