• The disciple of Jesus Christ knows Him as the LORD. He is God and has sovereign power over His people.

How do I relate to Jesus? Do I consider Him as the LORD of my life?

Lord Jesus, You know me well. You are God! and I am not. Forgive me when I want to wrest away from You control of my life. Thank You for being my Lord, my God, my shield, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.
