Thursday, August 7 — Psalm 94:1–11
Jeremiah 3:14–4:22; 1 Thessalonians 4:1–12
You have looked for much, but it came to little, and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why? Says the Lord of hosts. Because my house lies in ruins, while all of you hurry off to your own houses. Haggai 1:9
Jesus said, “But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and herbs of all kinds and neglect justice and the love of God; it is these you ought to have practiced, without neglecting the others.” Luke 11:42
Forgiving Lord, as we repent of our sins, grant us the strength to amend our ways. Help us turn back to you with sincere hearts, seeking your mercy and guidance. Amen.
