Wednesday, October 18 — Psalm 119:25–32
Ezekiel 22:23–23:27; James 3:1–12
Why have you despised the word of the Lord, to do what is evil in his sight? 2 Samuel 12:9
Paul wrote: God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let everyone who calls on the name of the Lord turn away from wickedness.” 2 Timothy 2:19
Lord, forgive our foolish ways when we despise your word. Help us to live in ways that are pleasing to you. Help us to love what you love and hate what you hate. Cleanse us from all forms of unrighteousness through the blood of your son, Jesus, who is the Christ. In His name we pray. Amen.
