As we continue to read the Bible using the SOAP plan, (Scripture Observation Application and Prayer) I want to encourage you to continue with it and if you've stopped reading start again! It's the New Testament and you will love it and get so much out of it. We will be reading a lot about Jesus and the disciples as well as the start of the church so don't miss this, it's really great stuff!
Today's reading was Matthew 6 and it's where we find the Lord's prayer and today I read my devotions in The Message translation and it gave me a whole new look at the Lord's prayer seeing it in contemporary language and not the King James version! Here it is, see if it doesn't hit you in a whole new way.
Our Father in heaven,
Reveal who you are.
Set the world right;
Do what's best— as above, so below.
Keep us alive with three square meals.
Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others.
Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil.
You're in charge!
You can do anything you want!
You're ablaze in beauty!
Yes. Yes. Yes.
