"You have searched me, Lord,

    and you know me.

You know when I sit and when I rise;

    you perceive my thoughts from afar.

You discern my going out and my lying down;

    you are familiar with all my ways.

Before a word is on my tongue

    you, Lord, know it completely."

Psalm 139: 1-4

"But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ."

Ephesians 2:13

"God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."

2 Corinthians 5:21

Not that we need yet another Bible verse to go along with this lesson, but I'm reminded of a verse shared I think during June in Jesus Calling:

"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."

1 John 4:18

This verse has resonated with me more than just about any other one since I started this daily devo in May.  Although it doesn't really relate at all to today's devo,  praying for the new school year is still on my heart for all the kiddos, PreK-College.

Has God placed anything specifically on your heart to pray about today?  We will pray along with you! Share in the comments section below!

Until next time...

Blessings!
