Holy and righteous living

Luke 1:68-75 ESV

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people  and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David,   as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old,   that we should be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us;   to show the mercy promised to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant,   the oath that he swore to our father Abraham, to grant us  that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.

Jesus has redeemed us and saved us; He has shown mercy, and He is faithful.  He has done this so that we "might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him all our days." Blessed to be a blessing.

Heavenly Father, thank you for mercy and grace in Christ Jesus.  I praise you for your loving, compassionate desire to save, your power to save, and your faithfulness to your promises.  Lord, may I serve you faithfully through holy and righteous living.  I love you, and I pray in the name of Jesus.
