Thursday, October 15 — Psalm 119:9–16
Ezekiel 20:30–21:17; James 2:1–13
Who can say, “I have made my heart clean; I am pure from my sin”? Proverbs 20:9
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 3:23–24 (NIV)
Heavenly Father, we are sinners, familiar with life’s desires. Yet, you still show us your compassion. In this world we are never to follow our will, but instead we are to follow you and your pure example. We can fearlessly cast off our weight and love freely. Amen.
