2 Chronicles 8:11-10:19; Romans 8:9-21; Psalm 18:16-36; Proverbs 19:26
“You O Lord, keep my lamp burning, my God turns my darkness into light. With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall.” Psalm 18:28-29
With my God I can be patient with a co-worker…
teach my teenager…
serve the homeless…
forgive the one who hurt me…
speak kindly to my spouse…
give of my time, talent, and treasure…
“As for God, his way is perfect, the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.” Psalm 18:30-32
It is God who gives me patience…
enables me to forgive…
opens my heart to generosity…
fills me with compassion and moves me to serve those in need.
“He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights.” Psalm 18:33
He prepares me for the work He wants me to do…
He gives me lips to speak His word…
gives me eyes to see the needs of those around me…
equips me with skills and abilities…
gives me motivation and determination…
equips me for every good work.
Lord God Heavenly Father, you are the source of all that is truly good and perfect. You give us light that never ends. You equip us with all that we need to serve you and do good in this world. Thank you!! Forgive us when we fail to look to you as our soul/sole provider; when we seek our own way and not yours; when we take credit for our successes rather than humbly acknowledging your goodness and grace in our lives. May we look to you today–our Rock–our God–our Source and give you our thanks and praise. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
