Transfiguration Sunday
PSALM 29:11 (MSG)
GOD makes his people strong.
GOD gives his people peace.
EPHESIANS 2:17 (MSG)
Christ came and preached peace to you outsiders and peace to us insiders. He treated us as equals, and so made us equals.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Let God's peace into your life.
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for sending peace into our troubled world. I confess that whenever there is a tragedy or drama I start to worry that it's not taking. Renew my confidence in you and the gift of your peace. I'm going to act on your peace even when circumstances around me tug me to act otherwise. Amen.
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* as a way to maintain a daily conversation with God. – Brad Boydston

COMPARING

Don’t ever think that you
are wise enough,
but respect the LORD
and stay away from evil.
GALATIANS 6:4 (CEV)
Do your own work well, and then you will have something to be proud of. But don’t compare yourself with others.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Focus more on honoring and obeying the Lord -- and less on comparing yourself to others.
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for the opportunity to work. Forgive me for the way that I regularly measure my worth by comparing myself to others. Help me to find my significance in my relationship with you. I'm going to quit comparing myself with others. Amen.

GOD'S GRACIOUSNESS
MICAH 7:18 (ERV)
There is no God like you.
You take away people’s guilt.
God will forgive his people who survive.
He will not stay angry with them forever,
because he enjoys being kind.
ROMANS 8:32 (MSG)
If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us?
