Light for My Path Daily Devotion
Bible Reading
Love the Lord, all his favored ones! The Lord preserves the faithful, but he pays back in full the one who acts proudly. Be strong, and let your heart be firm, all you who wait confidently for the Lord. (Psalm 31:23-24 EHV)
Hymn ELH 511:2,6,8 Lord Jesus Christ, with Us Abide
In these last days of sore distress
Grant us, dear Lord, true steadfastness
That pure we keep, till life is spent,
Thy holy Word and Sacrament.
And ever is there something new
Devised to change Thy doctrines true;
Lord Jesus! as Thou still dost reign,
Those vain presumptuous minds restrain.
Thy Word shall fortify us hence,
It is Thy Church’s sure defense;
O let us in its pow’r confide
That we may seek no other guide.
Prayer
Gracious Father, be my strength and shield as I wait in confidence for you. I thank and praise You for sending Your Son to be my Savior from sin, death and the power of the devil. In these last days, grant me peace and courage that I may always follow You. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
