Father, I am grateful for the invitation to cease being ruled by unrighteous thoughts that lead me astray. Help me not be fooled by the righteous garment, the disguise I often try to hide in. Help me return to you as my forgiving Lord who calls me by name to turn and live my salvation. Amen.
(From "Daily Texts")
9 You care for the land and water it;
you enrich it abundantly.
The streams of God are filled with water
to provide the people with grain,
for so you have ordained it.
10 You drench its furrows and level its ridges;
you soften it with showers and bless its crops.
11 You crown the year with your bounty,
and your carts overflow with abundance.
12 The grasslands of the desert overflow;
the hills are clothed with gladness.
13 The meadows are covered with flocks
and the valleys are mantled with grain;
they shout for joy and sing.
Psalm 65:9-13 New International Version
