Our Daily Bread - July / August / September 2023

by Our Daily Bread Ministries

Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Romans 12:2

Father God, thank You for providing for my deepest need in Jesus and sustaining me every day.

Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus. Colossians 3:17

Dear Jesus, open my eyes and heart to people around me who need to hear of Your love. Please give me the opportunity to share the gospel with them.

Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Proverbs 28:13

Loving Father, quiet my heart and mind so I’m ready to meet with You today.

In Ephesians 2, the apostle Paul states that all believers were “by nature deserving of wrath” (v. 3). But God gave us the gift of salvation, a gift which we did nothing to deserve, a gift we’d never be able to earn “so that no one can boast” (v. 9). No one.

Father God, please help me extend grace to others as freely and generously as You’ve lavished Your abounding grace on me.

Exodus 15:2: “The Lord is my strength and my defense.”
