The daily Luther
28th January
But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
Psalm 5 (viii)
In this life, two attitudes can be adopted: fear and hope. These are two springs, one flowing from on high, the ‘upper' spring and the other from below, the ‘nether' spring as described in Judges 1 (xv). Fear stems from contemplating God's threats and His fearful judgement seat and in His sight no-one is clean, no-one is free from sin and no-one is safe from damnation. Hope stems from contemplating God's promise and His infinitely benign mercy as described in Psalm 25 (vi).
The complete Luther - "A Meditation for Each Day of the Year" is available as a biligual (English and German) BREVIARY published by Wartburg Verlag Weimar. It can be purchased in English, world-wide from most internet book shops.
