Reading God’s Word: Catch-up day; Psalm 43
Previewing Romans: Overview Part 1; Part 2
Memorizing God’s Word: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Meditating on God’s Word: Psalm 43:3-4 ESV Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling! Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.
Praying God’s Word: “Lord, let your light and your truth lead us today. What a beautiful phrase, and what a beautiful God you are. When we’re at our lowest, believing all sorts of lies about ourselves, our circumstances, our God, your light and truth are the antidote to our despair. When our spirits are weighed down, you aren’t just joy, but our exceeding joy! A joy that supersedes sorrow. A joy that can only be found in you. Lead us to your altar today, in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
