Day 244

Father, 

We praise You for the way You’ve given us the law to help us see Your holiness and perfection plus our brokenness, and to teach us how to live in ways that honor others and that glorify You. We need the law, but it’s not enough for us, because we can’t keep it. So we praise You especially for the gospel that comes to us through the death and resurrection of Your Son Jesus. When we acknowledge the weight of the law, we know the Gospel is our only hope. That’s what makes the Gospel “good news”. 

So here we are—sinners by the law, saints by the Gospel of Jesus. And we come to You in all Your glory and call You Father because You adopted us into Your family. Have mercy on me, a sinner. We repent of our sins and turn to You and we ask You to make our hearts clean. We have a history of rejecting You. It happens on a daily basis in ways so subtle we may not even notice—when we have a selfish or arrogant thought, when we fear the future, when we angle for position… 

...When that happens, help us to know and remember and live and believe that You are the LORD. When we want to turn from You to our idols, when we want to run from You in our sin and shame, remind us that You have dealt with us for Your name’s sake, not according to our evil ways, nor according to our corrupt deeds. THANK YOU for that. 

We love You too. Amen.
