Respite For the Weary
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
I Peter 2:9
King Eternal,
Only by Your grace my children are Your chosen people. Remind and convict their hearts that they are not their own - that they belong to you. May they be full of wonder at the miracle which You performed in each of them - drawing them out of darkness into Your marvelous light!
When pride comes, then comes shame; but with the humble is wisdom. Proverbs 11:2
Dear Lord,
Teach us to humble ourselves! Cause us to recognize when pride rises up in our hearts and then help us to confess it to you quickly. Instead of arrogance, may we have a heart that both reveres and submits to you. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
