God Teaches Us Through His Word
Today’s Bible Verses:
Psalm 25:4-5 ESV
Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.
As we approach the end of the school year in New Jersey, teachers are most likely looking forward to a little rest. Being a teacher is never easy and requires much work inside and outside the classroom. For us Christians, our Lord is always teaching us through His Word. When we read the Bible, attend church, hear the Scriptures and the preaching, and even sing during worship, we learn more about what our God has done for us. We must hear His Word of instruction on how to live our faith. As we enter this Wednesday, let us all put our trust in our great Teacher who shows us His love, grace, and mercy that is ever before us.

A Prayer for Today:
Heavenly Father, the great eternal Teacher, open my heart to read Your Word and put it into action. In Your Son’s name, I pray. Amen.
Luther’s Morning Prayer:
I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have kept me this night from all harm and danger; and I pray that You would keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and life may please You. For into Your hands, I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen.
Apostles’ Creed:
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
The Lord’s Prayer:
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
