TGW March 28 – April 2, 2022
Monday, March 28, 2022 Read Genesis
4:9-16
In today’s short reading we find a
profound truth – there are always consequences to sin. Cain rejected God’s advice and took Abel’s
life. For that Cain would become the
first homeless man – a restless wanderer.
And notice that Cain expressed no sorrow for what he had done. He only cared about himself. Pray: God, forgive my many sins and
errors. Cleanse me with Your forgiving Word. Amen.

Genesis 4:17-27
Today we get a review of Adam’s family
tree. Note how the reading ends – “men
began to call on the name of the Lord.” We
could take it to mean that men began to pray.
But it can also mean, “men began to proclaim the Word of the
Lord.” Either way, it is always good
when people place their faith in the Lord.
Pray: Lord, help me to call on Your name in every trouble, to
pray, praise and give thanks. Amen.
Wednesday, March 30, 2022 Read Psalm 26
Look again at verse 8 – David makes
it clear that there is no other place he would rather be than in God’s
House. That is the theme of this psalm –
the joy of worshipping the Lord. Pray:
Lord, make my joy being in Your House, receiving Your gifts of grace. Amen.
Thursday, March 31, 2022 Read Matthew
18-1-9
Who is the greatest? The one who
is humble, who trusts God with a child-like faith. The disciples still don’t get that Jesus’
mission is one not to gain power and control but is one of faithfulness and
devotion. Pray: Jesus, teach me
how to love and trust in You more and more.
Amen.

Matthew 18:10-14
“Jesus captures the Father’s love
for His little ones to that of a shepherd who left his 99 sheep to search for
the one who went astray. Do we show similar
concern when fellow Christians stray from faith in Christ?” (Lutheran Study
Bible-page 1621). Pray: Lord, I
need Your help. Give me courage to speak
of You to ….

Ephesians 2:11-21
See verse 13 again. What sweet words! Our sins separated us from
our heavenly Father. But our Brother and
Savior, Jesus, has reconciled us through His shed blood on the cross. Our salvation was God’s doing and at a great
cost – the life of His Son. Pray: God,
it is a joy to worship with fellow believers.
Prepare my heart to receive Your gifts of grace this weekend at
church. Amen.
