Light for My Path Daily Devotion

Bible Reading

For I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised to show God’s truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name.”  And again it is said, “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”  And again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples extol him.”  And again Isaiah says, “The root of Jesse will come, even he who arises to rule the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles hope.”  May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.  (Romans 15:8-13 ESV)

Hymn  ELH 110: 4,7   O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse’s stem;
From every foe deliver them
That trust Thy mighty power to save,
And give them victory over the grave.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Desire of nations, bind
All peoples in one heart and mind;
Bid Thou our sad divisions cease,
And be Thyself our King of Peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for sending Your Son, not only for me, but for all people.  Fill my heart with joy and peace in Your forgiveness, and help me live as a witness to others.  In Jesus’ name I pray.  Amen.
