Right and Glorious God,
Thank You. Thank You that
You are right and glorious. We are not. We are flawed and tarnished.
Speak with me this morning of the things You would have me put into
practice.
Mm. Thank You that I get to
read Your Word. Thank You for the easy access I have to various
translations and paraphrases. Thank You that in coming before You
alone and quietly I have this opportunity to breathe deeply of Your
Truth.
Blessed, Right and Glorious
God, thank You that the more I read the more I want to know. To
believe. To trust.
Reading in Paul's letter to
Titus (specifically 2:11-14) I see again Your call “to turn from
godless living and sinful pleasures... [and] live in this evil world
with self-control, right conduct, and devotion to God”. Most Right
and Glorious God, thank You for this chance to again be renewed,
refreshed and reminded of Your love and the power You provide us to
live godly lives.
The Life Recovery Bible
footnote for this section explains the prompt to 'entrust our life to
You and seek Your will'. It continues, “The proper response to
God's grace is right conduct. The Bible never considered guilt and
fear appropriate motives for righteousness. We obey God because He
loves us and desires to help us succeed.”
You
are right and glorious. Accepting. Gracious. Forgiving. And I am
blessed to love and be loved by You. Thank You Father. Lead me, guide
me, guard and direct me in all I want, am, think and do this day. I
love You and I want that to be obvious. Thank You. I love You. Amen.
