Heavenly Father, as we read your word, please help us to see your big picture when our culture seems different to what is on the page. Please help us to hear the message you are speaking to our heart, and work hard not to glance over what you are saying. May your big picture shape our perspective of ourselves and our world, and help us to rejoice anew in your grace and mercy. Please help us to keep marvelling your goodness and your faithful love to us day by day.
Amen
