Day 272 - (Today’s Bible readings: Job 3; Psalm 88; Luke 8:9-18)
“There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him; haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.” (Proverbs 6:16-19 ESV)
“God’s Law shows us not only our sins but also their motivations and consequences. Consider a thought, an action, or a word by asking,
● Why am I doing this?
● Where could it take me?
● Can I do this in the name of the Lord?
God hates sin so deeply that He sent His Son to take away sin’s power–its curses and its eternal consequences. In Christ, we are forgiven and empowered to overcome sin. Good-for-nothings are made into God’s precious and valuable sons and daughters.”
(The Lutheran Study Bible, Concordia Publishing House, 2009, page 1008)
Gracious heavenly Father, thank You for Your good and gracious choice of me to be one of Your precious children. Thank You for sending Jesus to pay for all of my bad choices. In the name of my Savior, Jesus. Amen.
“See” you in church tomorrow!
