JEREMIAH 7:4-5 (NLT)
But don’t be fooled by those who promise you safety simply because the Lord’s Temple is here. They chant, “The Lord’s Temple is here! The Lord’s Temple is here!” But I will be merciful only if you stop your evil thoughts and deeds and start treating each other with justice...
LUKE 1:68, 74-75 (NLT)
Praise the Lord, the God of Israel,
because he has visited and redeemed his people.
We have been rescued from our enemies
so we can serve God without fear,
in holiness and righteousness
for as long as we live.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
We've been rescued by God so we can serve him and his agenda.

How have you experienced God's rescue in your life?
PRAYER
Glorious God, you sent your Son into the world to rescue us from sin and death. I admit that even though I've said words of repentance so I can experience your rescue, I don't allow you to change me as much as I need to be changed. Rekindle passion for holiness and righteousness in my life. I want to be reformed into someone who can actually serve you with complete confidence. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
