November 23 BIBLE MEDITATION: “Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works.” Romans 4:6 DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: The same year America declared its independence from England, Augustus Toplady wrote a song declaring complete dependence upon God – Rock Of Ages. The third verse declares: “Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to the cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Savior, or I die.” It’s hard sometimes to let go of our sins AND our righteous deeds in order to completely trust in God for our salvation. Did you know there is something about human nature that doesn’t want to do this? We want to somehow help God with our good deeds. And yet “all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6b). God makes us righteous. ACTION POINT: Click on this link: www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/r/o/rockages.htm to navigate to the song “Rock Of Ages” at the CyberHymnal. There you can listen to the music, sing along, and meditate upon its great truths. Adrian Rogers
