Reading With the People of God - #4 Comfortنموونە
What is your only comfort in life?
Where do you seek satisfaction? Where do you find meaning? What are you living for?
Today's prayer of illumination:
Lord, as I confess my faith in you and seek your presence, please help me truly grasp the comfort of my belonging. Quiet the distractions in my mind and illuminate the truths you have for me today in your Word. Hide your Word in my heart, O Lord! Amen.
Memorization Challenge of the Month:
Heidelberg Catechism Q&A 1
Q1. What is your only comfort in life and in death?
A1. That I am not my own, but belong— body and soul, in life and in death— to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ.
He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood, and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil. He also watches over me in such a way that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in heaven; in fact, all things must work together for my salvation.
Because I belong to him, Christ, by his Holy Spirit, assures me of eternal life and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him.
