True

Have you ever had an assignment from God that you were not crazy about…one you didn’t want to do? That’s what happened to Moses.

I know it’s easy to say—Do not be anxious about anything…. You know the verse well. Some of you memorized it as a child. You know the verse is true. You have experienced God’s peace. But today is different.

Psalm 51 is David’s prayer for forgiveness after his sin of adultery. In this prayer, we find seven important truths of true repentance. Here is the final step.

As we move through the week of Christmas, we are focusing on Jesus, the One Isaiah described as the “Prince of Peace.” 

In a world seeking identity, satisfaction, and security, only Jesus delivers true joy. The joy Jesus gives is not the momentary heartfelt happiness of opening a thoughtful Christmas present or, much better, watching our children and grandchildren open their gifts.

True knowledge is not measured by the grades we make at school or our performance at work. True knowledge is simply this: Living in awe of God and following his road rules.

Fruit in our lives will demonstrate that we are connected to True Vine, and his Father gets all the glory. 

We cannot do what God must do, and God will not do what we should do. How’s your partnership with Jesus?

All we have—life, strength, our relationship with God, everything we need—comes from our Savior. Indeed, Jesus is our source of life.
