“I’m convinced: You can do anything and everything. Nothing and no one can upset your plans. You asked, ‘Who is this muddying the water, ignorantly confusing the issue, second-guessing my purposes?’ I admit it. I was the one. I babbled on about things far beyond me, made small talk about wonders way over my head. You told me, ‘Listen, and let me do the talking. Let me ask the questions. You give the answers.’ I admit I once lived by rumors of you; now I have it all firsthand—from my own eyes and ears! I’m sorry—forgive me. I’ll never do that again, I promise! I’ll never again live on crusts of hearsay, crumbs of rumor.”
Job 42:2-6 The Message (MSG)
Sovereign Lord,
By Your power, You spoke this world into existence and by Your grace, it is sustained. Be glorified, Lord God, by Your Creation. Exact Your plans for the ages for You are in total control. You gave Your only Son, Jesus, so that we may be forgiven. Help us to live humbly in Your mercy. Thank You for Your Word of Truth to show us the way. Thank You for the Holy Spirit to help us walk in the way You show us. Give us peace as we follow Christ and wait on You. Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory.
Amen.
