Light for My Path Daily Devotion

Bible Reading

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people. It trains us to reject ungodliness and worldly lusts and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope, that is, the glorious appearance of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. He gave himself for us, to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people who are his own chosen people, eager to do good works. (Titus 2:11-14 EHV)

Hymn ELH 149:1 In Thee is Gladness

In Thee is gladness
Amid all sadness,
Jesus, sunshine of my heart.
By Thee are given
The gifts of heaven;
Thou the true Redeemer art.
Our souls Thou wakest;
Our bonds Thou breakest.
Who trusts Thee surely
Has built securely
And stands forever:
Alleluia!
Our hearts are pining
To see Thy shining,
Dying or living,
To Thee are cleaving;
Naught us can sever:
Alleluia!

Prayer

Gracious Heavenly Father, thank You for Your grace in sending Jesus to be my Savior. Help me to live my life as witness of my faith in Jesus, leaving behind the ways of the world. In His name I pray. Amen.
