April 13, 2019 - FOLLOW THE RIGHT PATH

Day 103 - (Today’s Bible readings: Proverbs 2; Psalm 98; Hebrews 7:1-10)

For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. (Proverbs 2:6  ESV)

“Two roads exist for every person–the way of righteousness and the way of evil. The way of evil is populated with those who reject God and His good and gracious will. The way of evil leads to certain and eternal death. The way of righteousness is traveled by God’s forgiven children through faith in Christ Jesus, kept on the narrow path by the working of the Holy Spirit through the means of grace. The path of righteousness leads to certain and eternal life.”  (The Lutheran Study Bible, Concordia Publishing House, 2009, page 1002) 

   Lord, take my hand and lead me Upon life's way;
   Direct, protect, and feed me From day to day.
   Without your grace and favor I go astray,
   So take my hand, O Savior, and lead the way.
   (“Lord, Take My Hand and Lead Me,”  Lutheran Service Book #722)

Gracious heavenly Father, please keep me on the narrow path today that I may be part of Your eternal family. In the name of my Savior, Jesus.  Amen.

“See” you in church tomorrow!
