Daily Dig for January 10

Daily Dig for January 10

Hermas
You have no insight if you do not grasp that sadness is the most wicked of all the other spirits combined. Sadness ruins a person. It drives the Holy Spirit from one. A gloomy person always does evil. The prayer of a dejected person never has the strength to ascend to God’s alter. So cleanse yourself of all this wicked gloom, and you will live for God.

Daily Prayer for January 10

Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt
Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed, that her sin has been paid for, that she has received from the LORD's hand double for all her sins. Isaiah 40:1-2, NIV


Lord our God, how great is your love, and how great is your help! May each one of us feel sheltered in your hand, knowing that our faults and shortcomings no longer matter. We can go straight toward the goal you have set, for you will help us through the forgiveness of sins and through all the good you can put into our hearts. And so we ask you to be with us. May we be faithful, believing firmly in your great mercy, so that your name may be glorified among us. May each heart be given the comfort of knowing that everything will yet turn to the good, to the glory of your name. Amen.
