<Yesterday    Tomorrow>

Today God says:
 "I will lead you in the way of righteousness"

He promises me:
  "I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment" (Prov. 8:20)

My response to the word:
  God is leading me in His paths, because He is my Shepherd. The Psalmist wrote, "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul". He leads me - what a blessed thought.

My prayer:
  Heavenly Father, continue to lead me in the paths of righteousness throughout this day. Thank you for restoring my soul.

Today's scriptures:
 "O Lord, lead me in your righteousness because of those who spy on me. Make your way in front of me smooth". (Ps. 5:8 GW) "The Lord judges the people of the world. Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity" (Ps. 7:8 GW)  

Quote for today:

On this day:
On 8th August 1471, Thomas Kempis died aged 91, Dutch mystic and devotional author. Though most of his years were outwardly uneventful, his book "The Imitation of Christ" remains in print today, a guide to cultivating the inner human spirit.
