Jesus, you were and are the perfect high priest. You revered your Father and stood in awe at his name. True instruction was in your mouth and nothing wrong was found on your lips.

You walked with the Father in peace and integrity and turned many away from iniquity. Your lips guarded knowledge and people desired instruction from your mouth.

But now you have made every Christian, including me, your priest. We are a kingdom, priests to your God and Father. (Revelation 1:6)

So each day, may I follow in your footsteps.

May I revere your Father each day and stand in awe of his name. May true instruction be in my mouth, and nothing wrong found on my lips.

Let me walk with the Father moment to moment, day to day, in peace and integrity, turning people from iniquity.

Let my lips guard knowledge and may the people around me see your wisdom in me and desire instruction from your my mouth.

Father, I feel so inadequate to the task. I am a man of unclean lips living among a people of unclean lips.

But by your grace, you’ve touched my lips, you’ve removed my iniquity, and atoned for my sin. (Isaiah 6:5-7)

So now I stand before you simply saying, “Here I am, send me.” (Isaiah 6:8)
