It was on this day in 1546 that Martin Luther was called home to rest in the arms of his Lord and Savior. In the last prayer that he ever prayed, Luther steadfastly confessed his believe in Jesus Christ.
One of my favorite writings of Luther comes from his exposition on Psalm 147: Work and let Him (God) give the fruits thereof! Rule, and let Him prosper it! Battle, and let Him give victory! Preach, and let Him make hearts devout! Marry, and let Him give you children! Eat and drink, and let Him give you health and strength. Then it will follow that, whatever we do, He will effect everything through us; and to Him alone shall be the glory.
