Devotion for Sunday, May 5, 2019

“Forever, O Lord, your word is settled in heaven.  Your faithfulness continues throughout all
generations; You established the earth, and it stands.  They stand this day according to Your
ordinances, for all things are Your servants.” 
(Psalm 119:89-91)

The author and finisher of
creation is the Lord God Almighty.  It is
His, for He made it.  Who then is able to
thwart what has already been written?  To
whom shall we turn if not the Lord.  The
world is His and although we have temporary custody, all belongs to Him.  Be guided not by the wickedness of this
world, but the goodness of the One who made all things and walk in His ways.

Lord, it is a struggle to see through the dim light of this age.  So many things have been twisted that I do
not see through to Your goodness, Lift up my countenance and grant that more of
Your light comes into my soul.  Be Thou
my vision and my stronghold that I may walk boldly and with my life proclaim
Your goodness.  What You have declared is
the reality of eternity.  Guide me in all
of Your ways that I may partake of Your promises.

Lord Jesus, You have come to
rescue us from the way of sin, death and the devil.  Lead me, O Lord, in the way You would have me
go that I may not falter.  Lift me up
when I stumble and help me now and always to see through the haze of this world
to do what is right in Your sight.  Teach
me Your ways that I may walk in them and enable me to hold fast to the truth of
the eternal Word.  Amen.
