Faith of a Nation

In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: "We have a strong city; he sets up salvation as walls and bulwarks.

Open the gates, that the righteous nation 
which keeps faith may enter in.

Thou dost keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusts in thee.

Trust in the LORD for ever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock. For he has brought low the inhabitants of the height, the lofty city. He lays it low, lays it low to the ground, casts it to the dust. The foot tramples it, the feet of the poor, the steps of the needy."

-- Isaiah 26: 1 - 6

Prayer

Lord, I live by faith in you.

Nothing can separate me from the love you have for me.

You have given me a blessing of oneness with you, so that in everything I do and work for, you will be honored and glorified.
He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred which redeems them from the transgressions under the first covenant (Hebrews 9:15).
