What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of
death? Thanks be to God -- through Jesus Christ our Lord!
Thoughts on Today's Verse
While marred by sin and death, human beings are still created in
God's image and fashioned in our mother's womb by his Sovereign
care. But we bump up against the hard reality of our weakness and
failure. We cannot be like God in his most defining attribute,
holiness. We sin. We rebel. We fail. We do what we know we should
not do. We neglect the important matters of God's will and nitpick
at nothing. With our words, we hurt and injure those we love. Who
can save us from these bitter and limiting realities that we find
in ourselves? Praise and hallelujahs go to Jesus when we trust him
as our Messiah and Lord, since he can then save us from these evils
and make us ready to live a life of blessing to others and to God.
My Prayer
Worthy of praise and honor are you God Most High. You are
mighty, holy, and beyond compare. You have also chosen to be
loving, generous, merciful, forgiving, and tender with us, your
children. Thank you for being God, just the way you have chosen to
reveal yourself to us as God. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
