Day 25

               Lord as we wait for the days to pass before the Holy Week, keep us mindful of Your Holiness. The Bible says you are an unapproachable light, blinding, piercing and pure. Though You stooped in the garden to form Adam and Eve with Your own hands, because of their sin, they had separated from Your fellowship. You were not surprised by this separation and anticipated the need Your creatures would have for a Savior to span the gap between ourselves and Your Holiness. We confess we are marred by sin and live in a world slowly being destroyed by the consequences of sin. Help me to hold fast to the power of the cross, the hope I have for deliverance from my sin and death. Amen.
