“If we have been swayed from the place of resting in your grace today – swayed by shame, by error, by vanity, by pride, or by love of the praise of people, act, O Holy Spirit!

“Reveal our error, convict conscience, and bring us to quick repentance. Rekindle our affections, restoring them again to their one worthy object, who is Christ, and who alone holds the words of eternal life.”

Douglas McKelvey, Every Moment Holy (Rabbit Room Press, 2017), p. 7.

Thanks to Beth who read this to our small group as we were discussing the command to strive to enter God’s rest (Hebrews 4:11).
