Memory for the Week of 1/24-1/28
We will be finishing our January hymn of the month and then continuing with the Petitions. All memory will be fill-in-the-blank.
Tuesday, 1/25
Thou art giving and forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blest,
Well-spring of the joy of living,
Ocean depth of happy rest!
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
Fountainhead of love divine:
Joyful, we Thy heav’n inherit!
Joyful, we by grace are Thine!
Wednesday, 1/26 (The Lord’s Prayer: The Sixth Petition)
And lead us not into temptation.
What does this mean? God tempts no one. We pray in this petition that God would guard and keep us so that the devil, the world, and our sinful nature may not deceive us or mislead us…
Thursday, 1/27 (The Lord’s Prayer: The Sixth Petition continued…)
…into false belief, despair, and other great shame and vice. Although we are attacked by these things, we pray that we may finally overcome them and win the victory.
Friday, 1/28 (The Lord’s Prayer: The Seventh Petition)
But deliver us from evil.
What does this mean? We pray in this petition, in summary, that our Father in heaven would rescue us from every evil of body and soul, possessions and reputation…
