"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
Monday, April 17, 2023 - Day 107 - (Today’s Bible readings: 2 Chronicles 26:16-23; Psalm 98; Luke 12:35-47)
DON’T FALL ASLEEP
“Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes...40 You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” (Luke 12:37&40)
Jesus is warning us and encouraging us to be aware and awake. He wants people to know that He is returning and that we had better be ready.
● Remember the Lord every day.
● Pray every day.
● Attend worship services weekly.
● Trust in Christ alone for forgiveness and heaven.
● Repent
● Always, always, always STAY CLOSE TO YOUR JESUS!
Lord, please help me to stay awake and be ready for Your second coming. To this end, grant me a hunger for You Word and a desire to stay close to You. Amen.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105 ), is the theme for this three-year journey through the entire Old Testament once (the Psalms - twice yearly), and the New Testament twice. There will be daily readings from the O.T., Psalms and the N.T. Special days on the church calendar will be highlighted with appropriate readings. This calendar has been compiled by representatives of the Lutheran Church of Canada, the North American Lutheran Church and the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod.

The “assigned” daily readings will appear on a daily basis in this blog. May the Lord bless your meditation upon His precious life-giving Word!
