Day 114

Father, 

We praise You for being a God who adopts people of EVERY nation into Your family. We celebrate Your heart for outsiders like all of us who are Gentiles. You are our salvation and our God!

But we haven’t lived or believed that truth—we’ve been prideful, we claimed the glory for ourselves and our gifting and our hard work—stealing what is rightfully Yours. And because we’ve relied on our own strength, we’ve grown fearful when our strength begins to fail or when troubles come our way. We’ve invested all our hope in ourselves and our plans, and as a result, despair is around every corner, because we are not in control. We repent of our self-idolatry and of all the sinful fallout that comes from it—arrogance and greed and fear and manipulation.

Would You give us eyes to see Your glory? Would You fill our mouths with praise for You? Would You remind our souls to put their hope in You? Blessed are those whose strength is in You—they go from strength to strength. And YOU are our strength.

We surrender our lives to You, Lord—every moment of our day, each decision we make, we yield our will and way to Your perfect will and way. 

We love You too. Amen.
