Old Testament Verse

I gave them my statutes and showed them my ordinances, by whose observance everyone shall live.
Ezekiel 20:11

New Testament Verse

God's love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him.
1 John 4:9

Prayer

I give you thanks, O God, for your Son Jesus. He came to abolish the statutes and ordinances, replacing them with himself. What a great exchange! I regret I try to measure up to other people's observances or compare myself to them. Today may I reclaim who I am because of whose I am. Jesus lives in me! Amen.
