Today is the commemoration of Abraham.
Today's readings are Psalm 103:1-10, Deuteronomy 8:1-20, and Matthew 10:24-42.
The last verse of our Psalm for today sums up the entirety of the Christian life. In it we see that God does not treat us as our sins deserve. Rather, he treats us with all his mercy as we approach him in repentance and come into his presence with faith. He has chosen us as his people based on his own goodness, not ours. Throughout today's readings we see that we fail again and again. But God remains utterly faithful. His forgiveness goes even farther than our repentance as he redeems us from the curse we have brought upon ourselves. May we ever look to Jesus' righteousness and, like Abraham, see that faith in God is accounted to us as righteousness.
