Sometimes,
Lord, You say to us, "This is the way, walk in it" (Isaiah 30:21).
Sometimes, You say to us, "This is not the way. Do not walk in it." Help
us, Lord, to walk in Your way - and not in the way of the world.
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!
