LBW #230, "Lord, Keep Us Steadfast in your Word" (verse 1)
Devotion
The whole of Scripture testifies to the reality that God is faithful to the promises God has made. The word of God in the Scriptures bears witness to an authority that guards us and keeps us close to the truth that is in Christ Jesus.
There is no shortage of those who would desire to make something of themselves by grasping religious power and diminishing the role of Christ as Lord. This Reformation text of Luther calls us to celebrate the gift of God’s word that speaks through the Scripture and calls us to trust God’s Son and the grace he brings into our lives.
Prayer
Continue to give me a love for your Word, O Lord. Amen.
