May the LORD our God be with us, just as he was with our ancestors. May he never leave us or abandon us.
ACTS 13:32-33 (GNT)
And we are here to bring the Good News to you: what God promised our ancestors he would do, he has now done for us, who are their descendants, by raising Jesus to life.
THE ESSENCE
The promises of God are fulfilled in Jesus and his resurrection.
DAILY FODDER
God keeps his word and Jesus is the proof. So it makes the most sense to embrace him and to align our lives with his agenda.
PRAYER
Awesome God, even though I'm not Jewish, I'm grateful that all the promises you made to the Hebrew people came to fruition in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. It's amazing that the good news applies to all people, regardless of their ethnicity or religious backgrounds. I'm slow to share this good news. Help me to see and seize the opportunites to declare that because of Jesus, death has lost its sting and we have new lives as forgiven people. I want to partner with you and all the saints in sharing this great news. Amen.
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.
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.
