Wednesday of the Third Week of Advent

Bible Verse of the Day: In the LORD shall be the vindication and the glory of all the descendants of Israel.” (Isaiah 45:25)

We are descendants of Israel and we stand vindicated and justified in Christ Jesus.

How does my life reflect this? Do I share that forgiveness and mercy with others?

Let us Pray

Heavenly Father,

I come to you in prayer today focusing not on myself, but for all those who will come after me.

May my words and actions sow seeds of faith, so that their life of faith will flourish.

Amen.
