Bible Reading
The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him. The LORD is the strength of his people; he is the saving refuge of his anointed. Oh, save your people and bless your heritage! Be their shepherd and carry them forever. (Psalm 28:7-9 ESV)
Hymn ELH 517:1-2 If God Himself Be for Me
If God Himself be for me,
I may a host defy;
For when I pray, before me
My foes, confounded, fly.
If Christ, the Head, befriend me,
If God be my support,
The mischief they intend me
Shall quickly come to naught.
This I believe, yea, rather,
In this I make my boast,
That God is my dear Father,
The Friend who loves me most;
And that, whatever betide me,
My Savior is at hand
Through stormy seas to guide me
And bring me safe to land.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, forgive my sins and strengthen my faith to always believe that nothing can take me from Your love and care. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
