Daily Verse

When I heard this, I tore my tunic and cloak,

pulled hair from my head and beard and sat down appalled.

Daily Thought

This matter cannot be taken care of in a day or two, because we have sinned greatly in this thing.
~Ezra 10:13

No, it will take three.

"This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

Daily Prayer

God, it does not take me long to sin, does it? Why do we turn from You so quickly? You put us in Paradise and we ate the forbidden fruit. You gave us Your holy and good Law and we made a golden calf. You bless me, I thank You, and then I go and do my own thing again.

Each of us turn to our own way, but God, You have laid the sins of the world on Your Son. In three days, He conquered death, accomplished salvation, and gave us eternal life. What a wonderful Savior!

Amen.
