"I thank you, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have kept me this night from all harm and danger; and I pray that You would keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and life may please You. For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen." (Luther's Morning Prayer)
Day 225 - (Today’s Bible readings: 2 Kings 13:1-13, Psalm 42; Matthew 21:18-27)
THIRSTING FOR GOD
As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. (Psalm 42:1-2 ESV)
What a wonderful gift God gave David! The repentant and forgiven sinner was given a deep desire to be as close to His Savior as possible.
Do you have a deep desire to be as close as possible to God?
● Read and meditate on His Word.
● Worship Him faithfully each week.
● Remember what God did for you on Mt. Calvary.
Lord, thank You for my salvation. Like David, may I thirst for Your presence in my life. Amen.
Pastor David Paape
