Day 241

Father, 

We praise You for the way You pursued Your people even as they went into exile. Your glory left Your temple and all its beauty and went to be near the captives in Babylon. And Jesus, You demonstrated this to us too, and we praise You for it! You left Your dwelling place in heaven to descend to the lower regions of earth. Spirit, You descend into the depths of man, to dwell in God’s adopted kids, sinners who have been declared saints, but who still live in these bodies broken by sin. Father, Son, and Spirit, You are the triune God who goes to great lengths to be with Your people, and we are eternally grateful.   

Have mercy on me, a sinner. We repent of our sins and turn to You and we ask You to make our hearts clean. Like the exiles, our default mindset is our cultural mindset, not our spiritual mindset. We repent of letting worldly values like greed and self-preservation take precedence in our hearts over the things You value.

Would You draw nearer to us today and speak Your truth to us by reminding us of what we’ve read in Your Word? Help us to meditate on Your character and draw us to live it out to the world around us. Spirit, we need You to give us little notifications throughout the day—like the buzzes and pings and red dots on our phones—catch our attention. Remind us that You’re with us, that we’re not alone, and that You are doing us good, not harm, all the days of our lives.  

We trust You and we surrender. Give us ears to listen. We yield our will and way to Your perfect will and way. 

We love You too. Amen.
