“Fear God and keep His commandments” (Ecclesiastes 12:13). Lord, we
read these words, and we wonder, “How can we even begin to fear You and
keep Your commandments when our hearts are full of sin?” We ask, “How
can our hearts be cleansed from sin?” We cannot do this for ourselves.
Only You can do this for us. Through Your Son, Jesus Christ, You give us
such great blessings: “I will cleanse you. I will give you a new heart
and put a new Spirit in you” (Ezekiel 36:24). Thank You, Lord.
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."
