...I am the LORD which exercise loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.
—Jeremiah 9:24 (KJV)
This passage from Jeremiah reminded God's people of two truths about the LORD's character — truths we should display in our lives, as well:
Almighty and Holy God, may my life delight you and bring you joy. However, I know my character falls short of your standards of kindness, justice, and righteousness — these qualities you have demonstrated over the ages. So, please help me as I seek to please you and bless others by living more consistently aligned with your values displayed in Jesus. Thank you for giving me the Holy Spirit, who is transforming me increasingly to be more like my LORD, in whose name I pray. Amen.
