Psalm of the Day
You have spread Your Word into my world.
You came to me in flesh and blood and entered my life.
You covered me with Your grace and spread Your Word of Life over and in me.
I exalt only You, my Lord and Savior.
I leave behind my selfish pride and haughty nature.
I abandon my arrogant ego and seek Your presence.
I humble myself before You and beseech You to save my life.
You teach me and show me how to continue in life.
To continue on in the ways You have taught me.
You open Your Word to me and show me salvation.
You reveal Your Wisdom that leads to salvation.
Build my faith and teach me compassion and love.
Lead me forth in active duty to love others.
You have spread Your Word into my world.
