NUMBERS 11:29 (NLT)
But Moses replied, “...I wish that all the LORD’s people were prophets and that the LORD would put his Spirit upon them all!”
1 THESSALONIANS 5:19-21 (CEB)
Don’t suppress the Spirit. Don’t brush off Spirit-inspired messages, but examine everything carefully and hang on to what is good.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Hang on to everything the Spirit of God says so that you can do the good and right thing.
PRAYER
Holy Spirit, you put us in touch with everything that is good. You fill us with wisdom and lead us along the pathways that are healthy, happy, and free. Still, we tend to experience any input from beyond ourselves as restrictive. Fill us again so that it wells up from within us. I'm going to use your guidance to figure out what is truly good and to empower me to do 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.
