Lord, we
rejoice in Your Word of forgiveness and eternal life (1 John 1:9; 1
John 5:11-12). When our hearts grow cold and we start taking Your love
and Your blessing for granted, help us to pay careful attention to the
Gospel warning: “How shall we escape if we neglect such a great
salvation?” (Hebrews 2:3). Help us, Lord, when we hear Your Word, not to
keep it to ourselves: “What the Lord says to me, that I will speak” (1
Kings 22:14).
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."
