Friday, May 26, 2023 - MY EYES LONG FOR YOUR SALVATION

"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

Friday, May 26, 2023 - Day 146 - (Today’s Bible readings: Jeremiah 4:1-18 Psalm 119:121-128; Acts 1:12-26)

MY EYES LONG FOR YOUR SALVATION

121 I have done what is just and right;

    do not leave me to my oppressors.

122 Give your servant a pledge of good;

    let not the insolent oppress me.

123 My eyes long for your salvation

    and for the fulfillment of your righteous promise.

124 Deal with your servant according to your steadfast love,

    and teach me your statutes.

125 I am your servant; give me understanding,

    that I may know your testimonies!

126 It is time for the Lord to act,

    for your law has been broken.

127 Therefore I love your commandments

    above gold, above fine gold.

128 Therefore I consider all your precepts to be right;

    I hate every false way. (Psalm 119:121-128 - ESV)

Heavenly Father, keep my eyes fixed on Jesus and the precious gift of salvation You have for me in Him. Amen.
