2 Corinthians 5; Psalms 119

Thank you, Father, that by your grace you impute Jesus’ righteousness to my account. To justify me you made Jesus, who knew no sin, to be sin for me, so that I become righteousness before you, father, in Christ.

Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness. Your law is truth. Your commandments are my delight. You give me understanding and, in understanding you, I receive eternal life.

I rise in the morning and call out to you, father. I find hope in your word and in your presence with me through the Holy Spirit.

You revive me according to your word. Great are your tender mercies to me, Lord. My heart stands in awe of your word. I rejoice in your word. I have peace in your word and nothing causes me to stumble.

I find hope in your salvation. I am a doer of your word. Your word enlivens my soul. I love your word, and the joy of your promises, and the wisdom of your precepts. All my ways are before you, father. I rest in you.
