Good Morning!
Let’s focus our day by spending some time with Jesus before it begins.

THANK. Write down 5 things you’re thankful for in the last 24 hours.
WORSHIP. Pick a song from one of our Spotify Playlists and let it play in the background.
READ. Today’s scripture reading is from Isaiah 64:1-4
THINK. A Thought from Pastor Dave…
Paradox Church is part of a larger movement of churches throughout the world called Antioch (learn more at antioch.org) We’re taking 22 Days to pray together for 2022. Find today’s prayer here.

I don’t do well with waiting. Especially when there’s something that I want to happen. From the time we’re kids, we struggle with waiting. Expectation comes from taking what has happened in the past and waiting - even longing - for it to happen again. This can be a very reasonable thing - we wait expectantly for the weekend, or a holiday, or summer. It happens consistently. So we expect it. We wait for it. But other times our expectations can get in the way. We end up longing for the good things of the past and missing good things in the present. Today, Isaiah reminds us that we have a God who did awesome works that we did not expect. We have a God who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him. Wait expectantly today. Not just for the things that have happened in the past, but for the new, fresh, unexpected ways God is just waiting to act on your behalf. Wait expectantly for God to act in unexpected ways today!

Worship - Join us for a night of worship and prayer to close the 22 days with the House of Prayer on Thursday, February 3 at 6pm at Paradox Church in Warren.

PRAY. Pray for yourself, a family member, a friend, someone who doesn’t know Jesus, and the nations.
LIVE. One practical way to understand and apply the Bible is the SOS method. Ask…
S: What does this passage say about God, and what does it say about me?
O: What am I being invited to obey?
S: What can I share with those around me?
CONNECT. Have a question, prayer request, thought, or story? Let us know at paradoxchurch.com/connect
