Day 28 - (Today’s Bible readings: Genesis 21:22-32, Psalm 26, Matthew 13:31-43)
O Lord, I love the habitation of your house
and the place where your glory dwells.
(Psalm 26:8 ESV)
David’s words are most fitting for this morning. He loved worshiping in God’s house. How do you feel about God’s house? How do you feel about church? Are you planning to worship this morning?
In worship, God promises to meet you and serve you with His gifts of the Word and the sacraments (Baptism and Holy Communion). Here He grants us the blessings we all desperately need...
● The forgiveness of all of your sins.
● The opportunity to thank the Lord for all that He does for you.
● Teaching that sustains and grows your faith.
● Encouragement to face the challenges of the day.
● The assurance that, through faith in Jesus, you are going to heaven.
I love Your kingdom, Lord,
The house of Your abode,
The Church our blest Redeemer saved
With His own precious blood.
(“I love Your kingdom, Lord,” Lutheran Service Book, #651)
Heavenly Father, thank You for promising to meet me in worship this morning. Please give me a hunger for the blessings of forgiveness, faith and peace You promise to give me this morning. In Jesus’ saving name. Amen.
“See” you at the Communion table this morning!
