‘Continue
in the fear of the Lord all day long. Let reverence for the Lord be the
concern of your life’. When, Lord, we put You first in our lives,
You give Your great promise of blessing, ‘There is surely a future hope
for you. You have a bright future. Surely you have a wonderful future
ahead of you’ (Proverbs 23:17-18). What a glorious future lies ahead of
those who love You: ‘No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has
conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him’ (1 Corinthians
2:9)! Keep us, Lord, from becoming ‘short-sighted’. Help us to keep
on looking ahead to ‘the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ’. You, Lord, have given us ‘His very great and precious
promises’. Help us to press on in ‘faith’, becoming more and more
‘active and effective in our knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ’ (2
Peter 1:3-11).
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."
