PSALM 12:6 (ABP)
GOD's promises are of the highest quality – as pure as silver sent through the refining furnace seven times.
JOHN 6:63 (MSG)
Every word I’ve spoken to you is a Spirit-word, and so it is life-making.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God's promises are totally reliable and invigorating.
PRAYER
God, you are a being of your word. Forgive my lackadaisical approach to the recordings of your messages in the Bible. Help me to figure out a way of engaging with your word that works for me and my temperament. I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to say. 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.
