Scripture Reading
Romans 1:16-17
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed — a righteousness that is from faith for faith, as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."
Reflection
On this Reformation Day, we remember the courageous conviction of those who staked their lives on the declaration that the gospel itself is sufficient. The church is not built on human tradition or institutional power but on the Word that brings life. We are heirs of that faith — justified not by performance but by grace, received through trust. Give thanks today for the freedom of the gospel.
Prayer for Today
Dear God,
You are Jehovah-Jireh, the God who provides. We thank you that you own it all and hold everything in your hands. We thank you that you know our needs before we even ask. You're aware of all that concerns us, and you have a plan and provision. You alone can move mountains to make a way for your children. We ask for your answer, in your timing, for every need that weighs our hearts down.
Forgive us for doubting you, for worrying, and for trying to work everything out on our own. Help us to trust you more. We choose to recognize and to believe that you are able to accomplish far more than we even thought possible.
We thank you in advance for your miracles, for paving out pathways, for your provision for those who love you the church. Thank you for the abundance of blessing and goodness you have already stored up. Thank you for teaching us to be content in all circumstances. We love you Lord; we're leaning on you.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.
