”This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It’s adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike “What’s next, Papa?” God’s Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are. We know who he is, and we know who we are: Father and children. And we know we are going to get what’s coming to us—an unbelievable inheritance! We go through exactly what Christ goes through. If we go through the hard times with him, then we’re certainly going to go through the good times with him! * * *“

REFLECTION
As we draw near to our merciful Maker in honest prayer and ask Him: “What’s next, Papa?” …we can trust Him – who never lies – to guide us into all truth. And as we prioritise prayerfully pondering His promises and move forward in faith, we can be confident that He will see us through, in His wonderful way and timing. We need never fear failing, because our faithful Father can course correct us, for He is always perfectly wise and full of love towards us – the wonderful works of His hands.
PRAYER POEM: Only You
Perfect Papa + Potter ~ only You can mend every broken part and shape us into wonderful works of art.
Your wise ways are so far above my own. By You am I fully understood and known. You are working wonders in my heart and from You I never want to part. I can’t find the words to fully express the depth of my gratitude – and a pithy platitude won’t do – so I pray that my attitude and actions will reveal how I feel about You, and give You the glory that is due to only You.
