Light for My Path Daily Devotion

Bible Reading

[Jesus said] “Do not be afraid, little flock, because your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the needy. Provide money bags for yourselves that do not become old, a treasure in the heavens that will not fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Luke 12:32-34 EHV)

Hymn  ELH 468:1-2  All Depends on Our Possessing

All depends on our possessing
God’s abundant grace and blessing,
Though all earthly wealth depart.
He who trusts with faith unshaken
In his God is not forsaken
And e’er keep a dauntless heart.

He who hitherto hath fed me
And to many joys hath led me,
Is and ever shall be mine.
He who did so gently school me,
He who still doth guide and rule me,
Will remain my Help divine.

Prayer

Jesus, my Savior, help me always to remember where my true treasure lies: not in earthly things, but in Your Word of promise and forgiveness. Amen.
