DON’T DISCARD ME, GOD! — Devotion
O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds. So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come (Psalm 71:17–18).
Sometimes life is hard even for "more mature" Christians. Health issues and sometimes the rounds of doctor visits are never ending. Visits to hospitals and sick friends increase. Visits to the funeral home occur far more often, and even in the "golden years" Christians may suffer attacks from enemies because of their faith.
It is difficult to proclaim God's wondrous deeds when we are feeling down and out, but this is just what our souls need.
Don’t Discard Me, God! is a devotion on struggles and challenges, and relationship to God, written by Cindy Trombley, Harrison Township, Michigan. Originally published by LWML.

Treasured to Perfection — Devotion
“Behold, I am setting a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel; I will never again pass by them” (Amos 7:8b).
I do not know if my human perfectionism is a blessing or a curse, but I do know this — God’s holy perfectionism leads to our salvation. He has treasured His creation since the very beginning, to the point of sending His Son to die for us on the cross.
Treasured to Perfection is a devotion on our relationship to God by Allison Maschhoff, St Louis, Missouri, originally published by Lutheran Women’s Missionary League, 2023.
