Lent: Day 17

Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly. (John 7:24)

If you really change your ways and your actions and deal with each other justly, if you do not oppress the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow and do not shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not follow other gods to your own harm, then I will let you live in this place, in the land I gave your ancestors for ever and ever. (Jeremiah 7:5-7)

Now to anyone who works, their wages are not credited to them as a gift, but as an obligation. However, to anyone who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness. (Romans 4:4-5)

Restore us, LORD God Almighty;
make your face shine on us,
that we may be saved. (Psalm 80:3, 7, & 19)
