Living

Because of Jesus, God loves His children with the same unconditional love. Even when we wander, He will not leave us.

God loves us too much to allow us to play by the spiritual life’s equivalent of a busy highway. He loves us too much to allow us to continue living in spiritual danger.

God promises to hear our cries. And He promises that when we seek Him with a sincere heart, we will find Him waiting for us with open arms. God is not finished with you!

Our passage today gives us clear instruction regarding pride.

When we trust in Jesus as the only way to know God, we are set free from our old clothes and our old way, and finally can enjoy the fellowship of the living God.

Living for Christ is . . . or should be . . . a daily celebration. Let’s live today in such a way that people take note of our deep joy and deliberate rejoicing.

What do I have to pass on to those who follow?

Sad, isn’t it, when a person wastes so much potential? Hmm . . . but . . . I have the Spirit of the living God living in me. I have the resurrection power right in my person. What am I doing for the sake of Christ? How are life’s distractions keeping me from being all God wants me to be?

The question for today is the following: Are you bowing down before any god other than God? That god can come in the form of a person, possession or position. It may be something you are living with, living in or living for. Whatever it is, it’s a pathetic substitute for the real thing.
