Day 204

Jesus, 

We praise You for being our righteousness, for being our peace. We cannot access it apart from You. Father, we praise You for being the stability of our times. You are steady, You can be trusted, even when the world around us is in chaos and our lives feel like a question mark. You are a period. You are an exclamation point! You are a bold-font fact, molded in concrete and covered in gold. You are our heart’s solid treasure.

But we’ve clung to temporary wealth. Our wealth has made us complacent. Like the fool and the scoundrel, we’ve turned from Your ways. We’ve ignored the poor and the needy. And when we ourselves are poor and needy, we’ve looked to our own version of Egypt, we’ve clung to the false hope of horses and chariots. We repent of these sins. 

Would you teach our hearts the truth, God? Don’t let us rally around our lies any longer! Make our hearts clean and our minds wise! And Lord Jesus, come quickly. We eagerly await the return of our righteous King!

We love You too. Amen.
