Saturday, September 24 — Psalm 109:21–31
1 Samuel 15:24–16:13; John 3:1–15
Know then in your heart that as a parent disciplines a child so the Lord your God disciplines you. Deuteronomy 8:5
Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 3:18
Merciful God, it is never easy to give up control; we are rebellious and think that we know a better way. Lord, help us to learn that only when we put our trust in you, rather than in ourselves, can we grow in you and fulfill your will for our lives. Amen.
