Devotionals - Five minutes at the pump

Fuel-stop devotionals.

Written to be read in the time it takes to fill two tanks. A new one every day, drawn from a year's worth of readings — scripture, a thought to chew on, and a prayer.

The Lord Our RighteousnessJeremiah 23:6

No. 307

In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The LORD Our Righteous Savior.Jeremiah 23:6

Jehovah Tsidkenu — the Lord our Righteousness. Your standing before God is not based on your performance. It's based on His righteousness credited to you. On your worst day, His righteousness covers you. On your best day, it's still His righteousness, not yours.

Reflect

Do you approach God based on your recent performance or based on His imputed righteousness? How would shifting affect your prayer life?

Prayer

Jehovah Tsidkenu, You are my righteousness. Not my good days — Your perfect record. I approach You on that basis today. Amen.
