Acting like the Lord

I am the Lord who acts with kindness, justice, and righteousness in the world... ~ Jeremiah 9:24 (part)(CEB)

Everyone who confesses the Lord’s name must avoid wickedness. ~ 2 Timothy 2:19b (CEB)

KEY IDEA: The Lord wants us to act like him.
Lord, it is obvious that you have your standards for your people. You want us to act like you. I do want to be kind, just, and righteous. But you know that I continually slip in one or more of those areas. And then I slide into "wickedness." Thank you for the forgiveness that Christ brings to my situation. When I fall help me to stand again so that I can continue to pursue kindness, justice, and righteousness. That's my goal in Jesus' name. Amen.
