I
consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and
complete the task the Lord Jesus has given to me -- the task of testifying to
the gospel of God's grace.
Acts
20:24
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE...
How
important is grace? Paul said it was more important than his life! Telling
about grace was more important to Paul than his life! In fact, that was his
life!
MY PRAYER...
Almighty
God, Holy Father, thank you for your lavish grace demonstrated and fully
expressed in sending Jesus to die for me. As your child, and in thanks to your
sacrificial gift, I pledge to you my life, my love, and my all. Through Jesus.
Amen.
WAITING
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“...Faith
without works is dead”
(James
2:20, NKJV)
TODAY’S WORD
Are
you waiting for God to do something in your life? One thing I’ve learned is
that waiting should not be a passive thing. When we’re waiting the correct way,
we’re on the lookout. We talk like what we are believing for is going to
happen. We act like it’s going to happen. We’re making preparations.
It’s
just like when you’re expecting someone for dinner; you don’t wait till they
show up before you decide to start cooking. Most likely you start early in the
day. You make sure the house is clean, you go to the grocery store, and maybe
you buy some flowers for the table. You make preparations because you’re
expecting someone. Well, that’s the attitude we need to have while we’re
waiting for God’s promises to come to pass. Put your faith to work. Prepare for
the answer to come. Keep standing, keep believing, and keep hoping because your
answer is on the way!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father
God, I choose to put actions behind my faith today. I trust that You are at
work in my life. I will wait the right way — with expectancy — knowing that my
faith in You opens the door for Your hand to move in my life in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
