Great are the works of the LORD, studied by all who delight in them. Full of splendor and majesty is his work, and his righteousness endures forever. He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and merciful. He provides food for those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever! Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; our God is merciful! The LORD preserves the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me….What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits to me?

We were outcasts, slaves, and rebels. But your cross has brought us near, made us your children, admitted us into your family, and made us joint-heirs with Christ. But we so often fail to live up to our new heritage. We are too often short-sighted, self-willed, impulsive, lacking empathy, and chafing under your discipline. But your sacrificed and risen Son is our refuge; his waters cleanse our consciences; his broken bread fills our hunger; his cup poured out causes ours to overflow. May we increasingly entrust ourselves to your Fatherly care and instruction in renewed devotion for the glory of your name, good of your people, and success of your mission. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
