MICAH 7:7 (MSG)
But me, I’m not giving up.
I’m sticking around to see what GOD will do.
I’m waiting for God to make things right.
I’m counting on God to listen to me.
COLOSSIANS 3:2 (ABP)
Fill your mind with matters related to the heavenly regime instead of getting preoccupied with the crazy competition for earthly power and control.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Focus on what God is doing to set things right instead of getting caught up in jocking for earthly power and influence.
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, you are the source of our salvation and we anticipate how you're going to bring it to completion. In the in-between time, though, we are prone to get caught up in the power struggles of those who believe that political domination is the end game. Help me to focus on you and your agenda rather than winning culture wars so that I'm ready for your coming kingdom. I'm going to count on you to make things right. 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.

and a fresh beginning.

GLORIOUS SURPRISES

On that day, the people of the Western world will come to respect the name of GOD. And in the East, he will be honored.
LUKE 13:29-30 (NLT)
And people will come from all over the world—from east and west, north and south—to take their places in the Kingdom of God. And note this: Some who seem least important now will be the greatest then, and some who are the greatest now will be least important then.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
When God brings the world together, everyone will honor him in a movement led by some of the least likely.

Glorious God, I'm eager for the day when everyone will honor you for who you are and what you're about.

Start now massaging my expectations so that my ideas more accurately align with your reality. I'm going to enjoy the glorious surprises you have in store for the world. Amen.
