JOSHUA 24:24 (MSG)
The people answered Joshua, “We will worship GOD. What he says, we’ll do.”
JOHN 18:37 (MSG)
Jesus, speaking to Pilate: I was born and entered the world so that I could witness to the truth. Everyone who cares for truth, who has any feeling for the truth, recognizes my voice.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Those who say they love God and his truth will listen for and heed his voice.
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, you came to speak truth into a world where lies and half-truths seem to dominate. Even I find it easier at times to align myself with the lies. It is a matter of survival. Yet, I struggle because I feel drawn to you and how authentic you are. Enable me to really hear what you are saying and to make the core changes that need to happen so that I'm a credible witness to your truth. What you say -- I'll do. 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.

PROVERBS 4:18 (MSG)
The ways of right-living people glow with light;
the longer they live, the brighter they shine.
1 JOHN 3:2 (MSG)
But friends, that’s exactly who we are: children of God. And that’s only the beginning. Who knows how we’ll end up! What we know is that when Christ is openly revealed, we’ll see him—and in seeing him, become like him.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
When it comes to living for Christ the best is yet to come.
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, through Christ you have welcomed us into your family. I don't yet fully grasp all that it means to be so closely aligned with him and your family. I trip up a good deal of the time. Help me to trust in your mercy and to more fully align my life with yours. I don't know exactly what's ahead but knowing you I'm sure that it is good. Amen.

AFFECTIONS
JONAH 2:8 (ABP)
All those who devote themselves to honoring worthless things are turning their backs on God and his mercy.

THANKFUL
PSALM 136:3-4 (MSG)
Thank God! He deserves your thanks... Thank the miracle-working God. His love never quits.
LUKE 17:15-16 (ABP)
One of the healed men, upon realizing what had happened, returned to Jesus shouting praises to God. He dropped to the ground in front of him and thanked Jesus profusely for what he had done. The irony is that this one grateful man was a Samaritan -- a despised religious and social outcast -- the one least expected to respond.
