“Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us — but to Your name give glory.” Psalm 115:1

How little reason have we to glory in anything of our own, since nothing but sin is ours — which even defiles that which is of God!

O Lord, grant that I may always give You the praise of Your own and may learn to delight and glory in You, having no aim but to walk before You in godly simplicity and sincerity. For he who walks uprightly, walks surely (Proverbs 10:9).

All disquiet of mind arises from our own lusts and unmortified tempers, which make the bosom like a troubled sea. And no settled calm shall we find until we have a single eye to God’s glory and can count ourselves worthy of no good.

Then we may draw comfort out of trouble and learn to praise the Lord, whether He gives or takes away.
Then shall we recognize His hand in every dispensation of providence, being sure that all things are working for our good and tending to God’s glory (which He knows best how to promote).
Then we shall know that nothing but sin can make us unhappy and miserable.

Lord, keep me from sin and then deal with me as You will!

Devotion by Karl Heinrich von Bogatzky (1690—1774)

Do You Know Jesus?

The Bible clearly states that everyone has sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Romans 3:23). It also emphasizes that while the wages of sin is death, God offers us the incredible gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23).

If you have not yet accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, know that today is the day of salvation (Acts 28). Turn away from your sinful past and turn to Jesus. Remember, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved” (Romans 10:13). Don’t wait—find hope and redemption!
