Lord,
You have done so much for us. What are we doing for You? You tell us
about Your redemption. You call for our response. Our response is
inspired by Your redemption. Thank You for the grace of Your redemption -
"By grace you have been saved." Give us the grace to make our response
- "Saved through faith for good works" (Ephesians 2:8-10). Lord, help us
to have less self-confidence and more confidence in You.
Self-confidence is all about us. It has nothing to do with You.
Confidence in You is so different. It comes from faith - not from pride.
Help us to find our true strength. It's not our strength. It's Your
strength.
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
