Today, Lord, I look into your word. I seek to “hear” your voice. I hold fast to my confidence in Christ’s completed work in me; I boast in him as my savior.  I keep my heart softened to the word of the Lord, and by the word, I hold my confidence in my Lord Jesus firm.

There is a Sabbath rest for me in Christ.  I pay attention to enter that rest and to remain in that rest. The rest is mine when I, “today, hear his voice and do not harden my heart”.  I allow God’s word to wash and renew my mind; to rule and reign over my natural thoughts; for the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two edge sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.  No creature is hidden from the Lord’s sight but all are naked and exposed to him to whom we must give an account.
