The Day’s Reflection
Each day of our lives stands or fall upon its own merit whether we have been successful in serving the Lord or not. As we come to the close of each day and we thank the Lord for His blessings of the day, We may want to embrace the sentiment of the song, “Evening Meditations.” The song embraces a question we often ask or should ask ourselves, “Oh, what have I done in Thy name dear Lord, As I come to the close of this day? Have I looked up to heaven and thee, Or have my steps gone astray?” If our steps have been following Jesus they will not have gone astray, and this should always be our prayer. Our closing prayer of the day could be the same as the song entitled “Evening Prayer”; the last song in the Old School Hymnal. The song says in the first verse, “If I have wounded any soul today, If I have caused one foot to go astray, If I have walked in my own wilful way, Dear Lord, forgive!” This is a day in reflection.–September 5, 2011–Elder Larry Wise
