“In the word of truth, in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left, by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; regarded as deceivers and yet true” (2 Corinthians 6:7-8)

The Lord is in all and through all.  That is, He who knows all things works even through all of those who rebel against Him for His glory to those ends which He has determined.  Be not as one who is in rebellion, but as one who willingly walks in the way of the Lord and rejoice that He has given you your portion amongst the children of Zion.  Come and rejoice in His goodness and mercy.

Teach me, Lord, that in good times and bad, You are there.  Lead me that I may face every circumstance trusting in Your provision and grace.  No matter what I do, honorable or dishonorable, remind me that Your grace is more than sufficient. In You, Lord, is all hope and glory.  Guide me, O Lord, in the way of truth that I may now and always walk firmly within Your arms of mercy.

Lord Jesus, God in the flesh, You have come to walk through all of life’s circumstances and take upon Yourself our sins that we might be set free from sin, death and the devil.  Guide me, O Lord, in the way of truth that You established in the beginning that I may learn, live and love Your way, truth and life.  Lift my countenance above all circumstances that I would see You above all things.  Amen.
