Psalms 119:18
Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
What of Today’s Verse…
From our perspective of grace, having been liberated from law-keeping as a means of justification and righteousness, this is a very fitting prayer. We can look around our world and see the anarchy and brutality when there is no principle of law under girding the soul of a society. God’s law provided so many wonderful blessings, and can still bless us today if we will let it. But the greatest blessing of the O.T. Law is Jesus, in whom all of God’s promises find their fulfilment.
Let us Pray:
Holy Father, thank you for your righteousness. Knowing that you will dispense justice and settle all injustice when you judge the earth gives me comfort because I know that through Jesus, you see me as righteous. My prayer today is that I can live in a way that brings honour to you and reflects the character of your Son when he walked this earth. Through him I pray. Amen.’
Words of Wisdom
Remember
You are forever held in the love of God.
This is a day of remembering those who have blessed me personally and of honoring those who have blessed the world through their commitments of love and peace. As members of the family of God, each one has shined the light of God within them out into the world.
The faith they showed in times of adversity gives hope to those who need to hope, encourages those who are facing hardship, inspires those who follow in their footsteps. Their legacy compels the best within others to come forward and to be lived every day.
For those who are still present in my life and those who have passed on, I envision them through eyes of love, knowing that they are forever held in the love of God.
“For God, whom I serve with my spirit by announcing the gospel of his Son, is my witness that without ceasing I remember you always in my prayers.”–Romans 1:9
