LBW #358, “Glories of Your Name Are Spoken”
Devotion
See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love,
Well supply your sons and daughters, and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint, while such a river ever will their thirst assuage?
Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age. (v.2)
We are a well-supplied people. From the first days of creation God’s abundant life and love have been ours. No matter the degree of our gratefulness, no matter the level of our faithfulness, God does not withhold. If there ever was a reason to rejoice, this is it. If there ever was a reason to live for the sake of others, this is it. So, let us rejoice in God today and love one another out of the wellspring of God’s mercy and grace.
Prayer
Dear God, we rejoice and praise you for your faithfulness and generosity. Keep us faithful followers of Christ, living in the promise of his cross and resurrection - the abundance of his love. Amen.
