Light for My Path Daily Devotion

Bible Reading

Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!   (Psalm 139:23-24 ESV)

Hymn  ELH 236:1,4   Let Us Ever Walk with Jesus

Let us ever walk with Jesus,
Follow His example pure,
Flee the world, which would deceive us,
And to sin our souls allure.
Ever in His footsteps treading,
Body here, yet soul above,
Full of faith and hope and love,
Let us do the Father’s bidding.
Faithful Lord, abide with me;
Savior, lead, I follow Thee.

Let us gladly live with Jesus;
Since He’s risen from the dead,
Death and grave must soon release us.
Jesus, Thou art now our Head.
We are truly Thine own members;
Where Thou livest, there live we.
Take and own us constantly,
Faithful Friend, as Thy dear brethren.
Jesus, here I live to Thee,
Also there eternally.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, You know all my thoughts.  Help me to overcome sin and remind me of Your gracious forgiveness, earned for me by Your Son, Jesus Christ.  In His name I pray.  Amen.
