“But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.” Psalm 92:8-9
The LORD reigns over all forever and will not be cast down, but those who oppose Him and His Word will be scattered and perish forever.
O LORD, grant that I humble myself before You, repent of my sins, and look to You for mercy for the sake of Christ Jesus, Your Son, and my Savior. Amen.
[Scripture is quoted from the King James Version of the Bible.]
“And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.” Ephesians 6:4
God has entrusted us fathers with the great responsibility of raising our children “in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.” We are not to be overbearing and provoke our children to anger and rebellion against the truth, but to teach and guide them by our example and life to know the Lord and to trust in His great love and mercy in Christ Jesus.
Grant me wisdom, O Lord, to faithfully teach my children Your Word and Your ways so they may grow up knowing You and trusting You for mercy, forgiveness, and life everlasting for the sake of Jesus Christ and His cross. In His name, I pray. Amen.
[Scripture is quoted from the King James Version of the Bible.]
“A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever …” Psalm 92:6-7
Most do not see or understand that God will judge the wicked and unbelieving. Though they may prosper now in this world, their judgment and eternal condemnation are soon coming!
Give me understanding, O God, to see that those who live in impenitence and sin will soon be condemned and that only those who repent and look to You for mercy and forgiveness in Christ Jesus and His cross will be saved. Amen.
[Scripture is quoted from the King James Version of the Bible.]
“I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?” Job 31:1
Job understood that to look upon and desire a woman who is not one’s wife is adultery and contrary to God’s purpose and design in creation (cf. Gen. 1:26-28; 2:18-25; Matt. 5:27-30) and therefore made a covenant with his eyes not to look upon a young woman that he might lust after her.
Forgive me, O God, for sinning with my eyes, for wicked longings and desires, and cleanse my heart that I might use my eyes to Your glory and praise. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
[Scripture is quoted from the King James Version of the Bible.]
“Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.” Proverbs 19:22
What a blessing of the LORD it is to find a believing wife to be a help and companion in serving the LORD! Sometimes we fail to give thanks to the LORD for the blessing of a believing spouse who walks together with us and encourages us in the true and saving faith, which is in Christ Jesus.
I thank You, O LORD, for the blessing of a believing wife to walk with me as I walk with You. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
[Scripture is quoted from the King James Version of the Bible.]
