LBW 320, “O God, Our Help in Ages Past”
Devotion
Science uses the letter K to denote a number of fixed value in a given situation or equation. In a world where hurricanes level entire cities, gas prices soar and war devastates multitudes, we all yearn for our own K, something of fixed value.
There is one constant in whom we can trust. Our K is our Kurios, our Lord, the one in whom we can trust. Our constant is not situational, but the same yesterday, today and forever. Our Lord is not an interchangeable part in an equation, but the one who is and was and is to come.
God comes to us and gives us the hope that generations before us have depended upon for their very lives. We trust in the one who transcends time and grants us rest from our troubles. His steadfast love and his faithfulness to generations endure forever.
Prayer
O God, our help, may we give you thanks and praise for all you have done and will do in this world. Make us instruments of your peace, that we may bring to others the hope you have given us. From everlasting to everlasting you are God. Let it be so, Lord. Amen.
