Devotion for Monday, August 5, 2019
“And Og, king of Bashan, for His lovingkindness is everlasting, and
gave their land as a heritage, for His lovingkindness is everlasting, even a
heritage to Israel His servant, for His lovingkindness is everlasting.” (Psalm 136:20-22)
Israel still exists. We may do with this what we will, but God
made a promise and it is before us. It
is a testimony that reminds us that the Lord’s promises are forever. Come to the Lord and live in His promises. Know that what He said He would do will
happen as He said it. He is the One who
created all things and they will go in the way He has determined.
Lord, guide me according to Your goodness to see that in You is hope
and glory. Guide me according to Your
goodness to live into the life for which You created me. May I learn from You, from Your Word and by
Your grace to live into the life to which I have been called. Now and forever, guide me according to Your
goodness and mercy to live by Your Word.
Lord Jesus, Word made flesh, lead
me now and always to abide in You that I may grow in Your likeness. There are many promises You have given. You have called me in those promises to trust
in You now and always. Help me this day
to live by faith and not in the way of this world. The love You have demonstrated is true. Lead me to live in the truth You have
revealed. Amen.
