Galatians 3:22-29
Psalm 105
Luke 11:27-28
For through faith, you are all children of God in Christ Jesus. Gal. 3:26
“Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” Luke 11:28
Lord, it’s been called the Greatest Story ever told. The inspired word of God is the story of our Father’s intervention in human history. It is the story of the salvation of the human race. In God’s word we are inspired, strengthened, encouraged and fed. We learn of the love our Father has for us, his precious and glorious children. He tells us how much he cares and how close he wants to be to all of us. Like a loving and faithful parent, we hear his words of correction and warning. We witness the birth, life, death and resurrection of his only Son. We are taught to be holy and humble and giving. We are called to witness to the gospel by living it. Thank you, Lord, for through faith you make us children of a most loving Father. We are united in the word of God that we believe and obey. Bottom line is, Lord, you place hearing and obeying God’s word right up there with the blessing of a loving Mother and family. May your word bless us today. Amen.
