I Take God

Me:  Today is the day that the Lord has made.

Prodigal:  Yes,  who knows what the Lord will provide.

Me:  Let’s begin with a focus on Christ.

These are the words that Philip Henry, father of Matthew Henry wrote for his children.

I take God to be my chief end and highest good.

I take God the Son to be my prince and Savior.

I take God the Holy Spirit to be my sanctification,

teacher, guide, and comforter.

I take the Word of God to be my rule in all my actions

and the people of God to be my people

under all conditions.

I do hereby dedicate and devote to the Lord all I am,

all I have,

and all I can do.

And this I do deliberately, freely, and forever.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:  for the former things are passed away.

Revelation 21:4
