A MORNING DEVOTION 

September 04,  2026                                                    YEAR 7: DAY 175

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be always acceptable in your sight, 0 Lord my strength and my redeemer. Ps. 19:14

CPWI   005                  New Every Morning Is The Love

1 New every morning is the love

our wakening and uprising prove;

through sleep and darkness safely brought,

restored to life and power and thought.

2 New mercies, each returning day,

hover around us while we pray;

new perils past, new sins forgiven,

new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.

3 If on our daily course our mind

be set to hallow all we find,

new treasures still, of countless price,

God will provide for sacrifice.

4 The trivial round, the common task,

will furnish all we need to ask,

room to deny ourselves, a road

to bring us daily nearer God.

5 Only, O Lord, in thy dear love

fit us for perfect rest above;

and help us, this and every day,

to live more nearly as we pray.

O Lord, answer us in the day of trouble,

Send us help from your holy place.

Show us the path of life,

For in your presence there is joy.

Let the heavens rejoice and the earth be glad;

May your glory endure for ever.

Your kingship has dominion over all

And with you is our redemption.

Father, we come together in the Name of your Son Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, to offer you our worship, praise and thanksgiving. To you belong all power and glory. You are the source of all goodness. Let our worship bear witness to your peace and saving power. Through your Spirit may we ever rejoice in the abiding presence of our risen and ascended Lord.              Amen.

                            Psalm             145:10-16

10 All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord,

and all your faithful shall bless you.

11 They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom

and tell of your power,

12 to make known to all people your mighty deeds

and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.

13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,

and your dominion endures throughout all generations.

The Lord is faithful in all his words and gracious in all his deeds.

14 The Lord upholds all who are falling

and raises up all who are bowed down.

15 The eyes of all look to you,

and you give them their food in due season.

16 You open your hand, satisfying the desire of every living thing.

GLORIA

A READING:              James 3:13-18

13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Show by your good life that your works are done with gentleness born of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not be boastful and false to the truth. 15 Such wisdom does not come down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, devilish. 16 For where there is envy and selfish ambition, there will also be disorder and wickedness of every kind. 17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy. 18 And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace for[f] those who make peace.

            The Word of the Lord.               Thanks be to GOD.

[…Increase in us true religion; nourish us with all goodness; and bring forth in us the fruit of good works

 Religion as we know it, is always a response to something greater than ourselves that invite us to align with it for our benefit. It can be experienced as person or system or sentiment that moves us  and brings us into sync in thought and word and action. Christian religion orients us around our Savior, Jesus Christ and his Father, the GOD of Israelite religion. Our experience leads always to a sense of community and a way of being in community that expects more than know, that encourages hope. The Scriptures have many moments and sections like today’s reading, that points us beyond ourselves in preparation for a way of living that will last, for eternity…

..The trivial round, the common task, will furnish all we need to ask,

room to deny ourselves, a road to bring us daily nearer God…]

                                                THE PRAYERS:

The Lord be with you

And also with you.

Let us pray.

                        As our Saviour has taught us, let us pray

Our Father in heaven,  hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come, your will be done,

on earth as in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins

as we forgive those who sin against us.

Lead us not into temptation

but deliver us from evil.

For the kingdom, the power,

and the glory are yours now and for ever.  Amen.

V. Save your people, Lord, and bless your inheritance;

R. Govern and uphold them, now and always.

V. Day by day we bless you;

R. We praise your Name for ever.

V. Lord, keep us from all sin today;

R. Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy.

V. Lord, show us your love and mercy;

R. For we put our trust in you.

V. In you, Lord, is our hope;

R. And we shall never hope in vain.

            COLLECT                                PROPER 17

Lord of all power and might, the author and giver of all good things: Graft in our hearts the love of your Name; increase in us true religion; nourish us with all goodness; and bring forth in us the fruit of good works; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen.

Into your hands, Heavenly Father, we commend ourselves this day. Let your presence be with us to its close. Strengthen us to remember that in whatever good work we do we are serving you.

            LOVE wonderful (wonderful) love

            The love of God to me,

            Love wonderful (wonderful) love

            So rich, so full, so free.

            Wide, wide as the ocean,

            Deep, deep as the sea,

            High, high as the heavens above,

            Is His love to me.

The Dismissal:

May the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace in believing through the power of the Holy Spirit.  Amen.                             Romans 15:13

And also with you.

Let us bless the Lord.
