"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
Sunday, August 6, 2023 - Day 218 - (Today’s Bible readings: Jeremiah 50:1-16; Psalm 36; Ephesians 3:14-21)
KEEP ME HUMBLE, LORD
“Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me...” Psalm 36:11
Yes, Lord, keep me humble as I remember that it is all about You, as David put it so well...
5 Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.
6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
your judgments are like the great deep;
man and beast you save, O Lord.
7 How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
8 They feast on the abundance of your house,
and you give them drink from the river of your delights.
9 For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light do we see light.
Jesus, Lead Thou On LSB 718
1. Jesus, lead Thou on till our rest is won;
And although the way be cheerless,
We will follow calm and fearless.
Guide us by Thy hand to our fatherland.
3. When we seek relieve from a long-felt grief;
When temptations come alluring,
Make us patient and enduring;
Show us that bright shore where we weep no more.
(Jesus, Lead Thou On, Lutheran Service Book #718)
Heavenly Father, keep me humble as I remember that it is all about You and Your great love for me in sending Jesus to be my Savior and Lord. Amen.
“See” you at the Communion rail this morning!
