September 23—Lord
The word for today is Lord.
“Therefore also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Phil. 2:9-11).
“That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation” (Rom. 10:9-10).
“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Cor. 15:57).
“For if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s” (Rom. 14:8).
“So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is” (Eph. 5:17).
“For the earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains” (1 Cor. 10:26).
“But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one” (2 Thess. 3:3).
“So that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God” (Col. 1:10).
“Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men” (Col. 3:23).
Prayer: Lord, we exalt You! You are worthy of our praise. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done.
