A MORNING DEVOTION 

September 10,  2026                                                    YEAR 7: DAY 182

Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honour and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.                                                                                      Rev. 4: 11

CPWI  536                    O Master, Let Me Walk With Thee

1 O Master, let me walk with thee

In lowly paths of service free;

Tell me thy secret, help me bear

The strain of toil, the fret of care.

2 Help me the slow of heart to move

By some clear, winning word of love;

Teach me the wayward feet to stay,

And guide them in the homeward way.

3 Teach me thy patience; still with thee

In closer, dearer company,

In work that keeps faith sweet and strong,

In trust that triumphs over wrong.

4 In hope that sends a shining ray

Far down the future’s broad’ning way,

In peace that only thou canst give,

With thee, O Master, let me live.

Blessed be the Lord our God

By whose grace we are yet alive.

Blessed be His Son Jesus Christ

By whose rising we are set free.

Blessed be the Spirit of God

In whom is our hope and our joy.

O God our Father, you have bidden light to shine out of darkness,

and have awakened us again to praise your goodness and to seek

your grace; make us children of the light and of the day, that our

lives being open to your glory, we may shine as lights in the world,

through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

                                    Psalm  33:13 – 21

13 The Lord looks down from heaven; he sees all humankind.

14 From where he sits enthroned he watches

all the inhabitants of the earth—

15 he who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds.

16 A king is not saved by his great army;

a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.

17 The war horse is a vain hope for victory,

and by its great might it cannot save.

18 Truly the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,

on those who hope in his steadfast love,

19 to deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive in famine.

20 Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and shield.

21 Our heart is glad in him because we trust in his holy name.

GLORIA 

            A READING:               Isaiah 2:10 – 17

10 Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust

from the terror of the Lord and from the glory of his majesty.

11 The haughty eyes of people shall be brought low,

and the pride of everyone shall be humbled,

and the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.

12 For the Lord of hosts has a day against all that is proud and lofty,

against all that is lifted up and high;

13 against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up;

and against all the oaks of Bashan;

14 against all the high mountains and against all the lofty hills;

15 against every high tower and against every fortified wall;

16 against all the ships of Tarshish

and against all the highly prized vessels.

17 The haughtiness of people shall be humbled,

and the pride of everyone shall be brought low,

and the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.

The Word of the Lord.               Thanks be to GOD.

[…for, as you always resist the proud who confide in their

own strength…

Our Collect puts its finger on an issue that remains a vexation to the Lord in all generations. Time and again, through the voice of his prophets, he issues judgment against the proud and arrogant. Although we are made in His image and likeness, we cannot approach his wisdom, nor exercise his power. To the One who created all, pride is an abomination, for there is no foundation to it. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and end, of all we know. Gratitude and humility is what is appropriate for us

…Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and shield.

Our heart is glad in him because we trust in his holy name…]

COLLECT                                PROPER  18

Grant us, O Lord, to trust in you with all our hearts; for, as you always resist the proud who confide in their own strength, so you never forsake those who make their boast of your mercy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Be with us, Lord in all our prayers, and direct our way towards the attainment of salvation; that among the changes and chances of this mortal life, we may always be defended by your gracious help.

Kindle in every heart, we pray, the true love of peace, and guide with your wisdom those who take counsel for the nations of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord,   Amen.

            And now, 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.

            Daniel’s God sure will deliver.

            Daniel’s God surely will deliver.

            If you only look to HIM by faith,

            Daniel’s God surely will deliver.    

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.

Thanks be to God.
