PSALM 130:7 (MSG)
O Israel, wait and watch for GOD—
with GOD's arrival comes love,
with GOD’s arrival comes generous redemption.
2 CORINTHIANS 9:8 (NLT)
God is able to release such a flow of grace in your direction that you'll have all you need -- so much so that you'll be overflowing with lots of good things for others.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
You've been blessed, so keep the blessings flowing to others.
PRAYER
I praise you, Father God, for abundant blessings. You provide all I need and more. Thank you for your steadfast love, redemption through Christ, and your indwelling Spirit. I have hope of eternal life with you. Instill in me a generous heart. May I offer you all you have given me to share your love with the world. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
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* as a way to maintain a daily conversation with God. – Brad Boydston

By an act of faith, Israel walked through the Red Sea on dry ground.

Almighty God, you are the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Thank you for faithfully guiding and caring for your people. I regret giving in to worry.

Tune into the mystery of God's timing.

This is fantastic, God! Through Christ, you're going to pull everything back together. Forgive me for being impatient when I see all the injustices of the world. Sometimes I become demanding.

Glorious God, thank you for intervening in the affairs of the world -- for starting history on a course of restoration, peace, and health. You've even included me in this new way of life. Yet, I'm shy when it comes to talking about it all. I worry that I'll misspeak or create more problems than I solve. Forgive me for not trusting your Holy Spirit to give me the right words at the right time. Open my eyes to the new opportunities around me. I want to share the glorious mystery of Christ with the entire world. Amen.
