Devotion for Saturday, November 2, 2019

“Let the saints be joyful in glory; let them sing aloud on their
beds.  Let the high praises of God be in
their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand, to execute vengeance on the
nations, and punishments on the peoples;” (Psalm 149:5-7)

The Word of the Lord is a
two-edged sword.  It shall not come back
void when the Lord speaks.  Live out the
Word and let it be on your lips day and night. 
Come into the Lord’s presence and speak aloud the truth He has given
you.  Sing with psalms and hymns and be
not silent.  The Lord has called you,
redeems you and by His Holy Spirit sends you to the four corners of the earth.

Lord, all I need has already been provided.  Guide me according to Your goodness to live
now and forever in Your presence.  Lead
me according to Your Word to speak boldly in a world filled hostility against
You.  Open my mouth that I may speak of
the news of great joy which You have given through Your salvation.  Let my life be a song to You in thanksgiving
now and forever.

Come, Holy Spirit, and take away
the hindrances that get in the way of me expressing the faith You have given
me.  Lead me away from all temptation
that I may now and always walk humbly in Your presence.  Guide me according to Your goodness to see that
in You and Your guidance is a good life that can be lived boldly.  Lead me this day and every day in the truth
of the Word already spoken.  Amen.
