May 5, 2020 - BLESSED BY THE LORD

Day 126 - (Today’s Bible readings: Nahum 3; Psalm 115; Luke 19:45-20:8)

BLESSED BY THE LORD

“May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.” (Psalm 115:15 NIV)

How are you today? For years, the answer from members of the congregations I have been privileged to serve has been: “blessed by the Lord.” We regularly express these blessings when we confess our Christian faith on Sunday mornings...
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. 
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord...
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.  (The Apostles’ Creed)

The greatest blessing from the Lord is the gift of being included in His family, the Christian Church. Through faith in Jesus you are promised the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. 

Lord, thank You for the gift of family. Above all, thank You for making a part of Your forever family, the Christian Church. In the saving name of Jesus. Amen.

May YOU always be blessed by the Lord!

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105 ), is the theme for this three-year journey through the entire Old Testament once (the Psalms - twice yearly), and the New Testament twice. There will be daily readings from the O.T., Psalms and the N.T. Special days on the church calendar will be highlighted with appropriate readings. This calendar has been compiled by representatives of the Lutheran Church of Canada, the North American Lutheran Church and the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod.
