ISAIAH 55:3 (NCV)
Come to me and listen;
listen to me so you may live.
LUKE 6:47-48 (CEB)
I’ll show what it’s like when someone comes to me, hears my words, and puts them into practice. It’s like a person building a house by digging deep and laying the foundation on bedrock.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Come close, listen, and act.
PRAYER
Thank you, Lord, for calling to us and giving us your life-changing message. I admit that I tend to pay attention to only the things that I want to hear. Everything else never gets into my ears -- and certainly doesn't get into the active part of my life. Open my ears and talk to me in such a way that I can become a solid person. I'm going to live for Jesus. Amen.
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.

EXCLUSIVE SERVICE
1 SAMUEL 7:3 (MSG)
If you are truly serious about coming back to GOD, clean house. Get rid of the foreign gods...
LUKE 16:13 (NCV)
No servant can serve two masters. The servant will hate one master and love the other, or will follow one master and refuse to follow the other. You cannot serve both God and worldly riches.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Focus exclusively on serving God.
PRAYER
God, there is no one like you. You are worthy of all our attention. I confess, though, that I am distracted by the fake gods of wealth, security, and recognition. Help me to get rid of all attachments that are not directly related to you. I'm going to focus exclusively on serving you. Amen.

SALVATION
ISAIAH 56:1 (NLT)
This is what the LORD says:
“Be just and fair to all.
Do what is right and good,
for I am coming soon to rescue you
and to display my righteousness among you.
2 CORINTHIANS 6:2 (CEB)
Look, now is the right time! Look, now is the day of salvation!
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God has revealed his salvation through Christ Jesus.
PRAYER
Thank you, Lord, that I live in this time when you have revealed your salvation and called me your precious child. Forgive me when I forget my baptismal identity and instead live according to worldly values to satisfy my selfish desires. Give me a new heart fully devoted to you that shares your good news. Amen.

You made me so happy, GOD.

One God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we praise you for continuing to work among us -- and including us in what you are doing. I can be a bit of a wimp when it comes to talking about my faith.
