Lord,
Your Word speaks to us about the "secret things" and "the things that
are revealed" (Deuteronomy 29:29). There are some "things" that we will
never understand. These "things" belong to You, Lord. Help us to focus
our attention on "the things that are revealed", the teaching that comes
to us from "the holy Scriptures", the Gospel which brings us to Jesus,
our Saviour - calling us to put our faith in Him and live in obedience
to Him (2 Timothy 3:14-17).
Lord, help us never to think, “We are blessed because we are obedient.” Help us always to say, “We are blessed because You love us and Jesus died for us.” Your love for us, Jesus’ death for us: This is where the blessing comes from – and it’s where our obedience comes from! We think of Your great love for us. We think of Jesus, crucified for us. We say, “Lord, You love me. Help me to love You.” We say, “Jesus, You died for me. Help me to live for You.” This is how Your blessing comes to us – You show us how much You love us, You put Your love into our hearts, the obedience grows stronger – and so does the blessing!
