Reading With the People of God - #4 Comfort

DAY 12 OF 31

Today's prayer of illumination:

Lord, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the gift of belonging to you. My only comfort is not who I am; true comfort is knowing "whose I am." Holy Spirit, help me grow in your Word today, illuminate these scriptures, and open up the eyes of my heart so that I might see you more fully! I love you, 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.
Dan 11Dan 13
