"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)

TRUE DISCIPLES
So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31-32 ESV)
Jesus came to this earth to free sinners like you and me from the eternal consequences of our sin and from the power of the devil.
This means everything to us for the devil wants to take us captive with his fake promises... wealth, power, prestige, even health. None of these can even come close to freeing us.
However, the message of Christ’s cross, His death and resurrection offer eternal freedom to all who believe. So...
● Abide in His Word ... read, mark, learn and inwardly digest the Word of God.
● Know (trust in) His truth.
● Celebrate your freedom in Christ!
Thank You, Lord Jesus, for freeing me from my enemies of sin, death and the devil. Please give me the desire to remain in Your Word. And as usual, THY WILL BE DONE. Amen.
