THE GREAT REVEAL

DANIEL 2:28 (CEB)
But there is a God in heaven, a revealer of mysteries...

COLOSSIANS 1:27 (GNT)
God's plan is to make known his secret to his people, this rich and glorious secret which he has for all peoples. And the secret is that Christ is in you, which means that you will share in the glory of God.

THE ESSENCE
Christ living in us is the great reveal of life's greatest mytery. 

DAILY FODDER
As we acknowledge and embrace Christ's presence in our lives, life starts to make sense. Yes, there will always be mysteries that we don't and can't understand, but they don’t rattle us in the same way. That is, the revelation of Christ is the key to living with the uncertainties of life. 

PRAYER
Glorious God, thank you for unlocking the mystery of life, through Christ. Forgive me for embracing the angst of a blind unbelieving world. Show me how to live without renting space in my mind to their worries over significance. I find my purpose and answers in you. 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.
