We
proclaim him [Jesus], admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so
that we present everyone perfect in Christ.

THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE
Our
goal as Christians is not to obey some law, to adhere to some set of rules, or
even be followers of some discipline. Our goal as Christians is to be conformed
to the character and ministry of Jesus. This is the Spirit's work in us (2 Cor.
3:18) and as Paul makes clear here and in other places (Galatians 4:19) that
this is his goal in working with others.
MY PRAYER
Holy
Lord, conform my heart, my words, my life, my ministry, and my actions to those
of Jesus. I want him to be my Lord, not just in my words but also in my life.
Through him I pray. Amen.
God’s ‘I Will’ To You
But this is the new covenant I will make with the people
of Israel on that day, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their minds, and I
will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be My
people. And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to
teach their relatives, saying, “You should know the Lord.” For everyone, from
the least to the greatest, will know Me already.
Hebrews 8:10–11, NLT
The
new covenant of grace that we are living in today is all about God saying, “I
will…I will…I will…” to you. It’s about God doing and blessing you because of
the obedience and finished work of Jesus. It’s not about you trying to earn His
blessings by your doing.
My
friend, if you come to God today and ask, “Father, will You heal me and my
child, will You still provide for me and my household despite all my failures?”
He will say to you, “I WILL.”
Beloved,
God says to you, “I WILL heal you and your loved ones. I WILL be your God, your
healer and everything you need Me to be to you.” Don’t try to earn your healing
or blessings when Jesus has already paid for them all at the cross. Instead,
hear Him say, “I WILL,” and see Him doing for you what you cannot do for
yourself!
