Hallelujah, praise the living God for another day to pray for you all and be used by Him. Today I offer these lines from Martin Luther.
“… when someone has been humbled by the law and has been taught who he really is, that’s when true repentance follows. True repentance begins with the fear of God’s judgment.”
Proverbs 19:23
New American Standard Bible 1995
23 The fear of the Lord leads to life,
So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil.
Heavenly Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus, Your servant praises and worships You. Bless You, for revealing to us Your power and might so we can have a proper fear of Your great holiness. We are so grateful for the fear that leads to life and the power You grant us to repent and follow after You. Thank You for the perfect and holy law that humbles us and exposes our need for a Savior. Thank You for sending Jesus to satisfy all the demands we always fall short of achieving. Praise Your steadfast love in providing us with the law of grace that sets us free to love and live as You planned. Father, we thank You that You have heard us. Amen in Jesus’ name and by the power of the Holy Spirit.
