Light for My Path Daily Devotion
Bible Reading
The law of the Lord is perfect. It revives the soul. The testimony of the Lord is trustworthy. It gives wisdom to the inexperienced. The precepts of the Lord are right. They give joy to the heart. The commandment of the Lord is bright. It gives light to the eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure. It stands forever. The just decrees of the Lord are truth. They are altogether righteous. They are more desirable than gold, even better than much pure gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the honeycomb. Yes, by them your servant is warned. In keeping them there is great reward. (Psalm 19:7-11 EHV)
Hymn ELH 492:1,5,6 The Law of God Is Good and Wise
The Law of God is good and wise
And sets His will before our eyes,
Shows us the way of righteousness,
And dooms to death when we transgress.
The Law is good; but since the Fall
Its holiness condemns us all;
It dooms us for our sins to die
And has no power to justify.
To Jesus we for refuge flee,
Who from the curse has set us free,
And humbly worship at His throne,
Saved by His grace through faith alone.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, Your perfect Law reveals my sins and condemns me. But Your beautiful Gospel brings me forgiveness and salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. In faith, help me to use Your Law in the ways you intend: as a curb, a mirror and a guide, always trusting in Christ and His work to save me. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
