August 12 ... Be Resurrected

Delight yourselves in the Lord

and continue to rejoice

that you are in Him.

Philippians 3:1

Let's rejoice in God Almighty

and His power to change our hearts,

giving praise for His great mercy

and His will that becomes ours.

Blow upon us, Holy Spirit,

by Your resurrection power,

as we come to meet with You

in this early morning hour.

There is much we need to learn

from You, our mighty Teacher,

and we set our hearts to hear You

and to rise up and obey.

For it's God Who wills to make us

ever more like His dear Son,

and the Spirit Who will prompt us

to the growth that must be done.

For our time with Him each morning

in the Word and prayer,

will prepare us for the testings

and for resurrection day!
