Respite For the Weary
Thus says the Lord,
"Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not the rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things, " declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 9: 23-24
Dear Exercising God,
The cry of Your heart is for Your children to understand and know You! Continue to show my children who You are: a God who delights in lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness. May this become what they boast about, nothing else.
He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds we are healed. - 1 Peter 2:24
Dear Lord Jesus,
The exchange of our sin for your righteousness is the indescribable gift (2 Cor. 9:15)! How can we thank you? Today may we, through your Spirit, humbly walk in the righteousness you died to give us. In your Name, Amen.
