PSALM 104:1-2 (CEB)
LORD my God, how fantastic you are!
You are clothed in glory and grandeur!
You wear light like a robe...
1 PETER 2:9 (CEV)
God has brought you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Now you must tell all the wonderful things he has done.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
We're called to live lives defined by the light of Christ.
PRAYER
God, you've done a great thing by shining your stunning light into our lives. I confess that I'm not used to so much light and occasionally retreat into the darkness, where I've spent so much time in the past. Help me to adjust so that I can go about living and telling of your glory and grandeur. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name; your Kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
