Devotion for Monday, February 25, 2019

“Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures
forever. Light arises in the darkness for the upright; He is gracious and
compassionate and righteous.” (Psalm 112:3-4)

The true wealth is living in the
truth of the Lord. Yet also, with wisdom, the Lord grants additional gifts that
help living life in this world. The one who loves the Lord becomes like Him and
is compassionate and righteous. Come to the Lord and live in the power He gives
to become a child of His. Know that He will fulfill His promises and guide all
who remain in Him into eternal life.

Lord, I see what is there when I look at myself and know the lack of
faith in me. Help me, Lord, to grow into the person You are making me to be. Indeed,
bring compassion and righteousness into my heart that I may become what You
intend. Lead me along the right paths for Your name’s sake. May I learn from
You in humility and know that only by Your power and in Your providence am I
able to become what You are making of me.

Thank You, Holy Spirit, for being
with me moment by moment. You know the tugs and pulls that come upon me
throughout the day. Help me, I pray, to learn this day a little more about all
that needs to happen to remove what needs to be removed and to place what is
new and right in its place. Guide me that I may live this day in Your presence
and under Your direction. Amen.
