Devotion for Sunday, November 12, 2023

“He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God” (Revelation 19:13).

The Word made flesh, our Savior, Christ Jesus: in Him is life and light.  By His blood we are healed.  His robes are scarlet with His blood, shed for us, but also, white in His purity.  The Word made flesh dwells in and amongst us.  Some await His coming, but the faithful know that He is already here.  Come into His presence and do not just wait for eternity, but live knowing that eternity has already come through Your calling to abide in Him as He abides in You.

Lord, open my eyes to see and my mind to understand that You are with me already.  Guide me in that goodness and mercy which You have already given me so that I abide in You as You abide with me in the power of the Holy Spirit.  Lead me, Lord.  You know what I need, and I thank You that You have provided all that is needed.  May I receive You into me this and every day and walk as You lead.

Word made flesh who has breathed the Holy Spirit upon me, guide me this day to do those things which are pleasing in Your sight.  Grant that I would be attentive to Your direction and live out Your commands this day.  Thank You for calling me into Your eternal presence.  May I walk the narrow way of living out the purpose for which I have been called by grace  through faith.  Amen.
