Most Holy God,
Mercy and grace. These are
the two words I came here with over an hour ago. I can get lost in
the search. Here I finally come asking You to lead and guide me
deeply into Your Word.
Blessed God, I love You. I
rely on Your mercy and grace. Psalm 23:6 began my thinking this
morning. “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of
my life; and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
for ever.”
Holy God, I confess to
taking so very many of Your verses for granted. I recite them at
rote. Not paying particular attention to the depth and hope found in
the Truth of Your precious Word.
Thank You for encouraging me
to put the proverbial brakes on and take the time to truly listen and
consider all that is being offered. You as our Shepherd. Leading,
renewing, guiding, protecting and comforting us throughout our lives.
Wow, God! Thank You.
How awesome to be able to
turn to Hebrews 4:16 and be reminded that we get to 'come boldly to
the throne of our gracious God, where we will receive Your mercy, and
we will find grace to help us when we need it.'
Reading in Illustrated
Bible Handbook I am excited
to read that the Truth of “the New Testament message has been
delivered by the Son of God himself!” It's a surface of
understanding I can barely even begin to scratch.
Continuing
to read in the section Jesus,
Our High Priest,
“Also, the NT word is a living and active word, capable of
penetrating our deepest thoughts and motives – and guiding us daily
into God's rest. How important that we maintain our trust in Jesus,
sensitive and obedient to His voice as He speaks to us in our today.”
Yes!
Work in me this morning, teaching me the importance of relying solely
on Your mercy and grace. You amaze me and I love You. Thank You for
extra time to explore and pay closer attention to what Your Word has
to say. I love You. Thank You. Amen.
