Isaiah 43:11-12
"I, even I, am the Lord, and apart from me there is no savoir. I have revealed and saved and proclaimed – I, and not some foreign God among you. You are my witnesses," declares the Lord, "that I am God."
What of Today’s Verse…
1 Peter 2 reminds us that we are here as witnesses to "declare the praises of him who has called us out of darkness into his marvellous light." We have seen and experienced God’s saving work. We are recipients of his blessing. We are the people who expect his mighty deliverance yet to come. How can we remain silent? How can we remain bitter, pessimistic, or discouraged? The God who made the tomb empty and made the corpse our living Lord is our God and he is mighty to save. He is our Saviour!
Let us Pray:
O Mighty God, I confess that I slip so easily into my day-today rut that I grow immune to the joy and excitement of your salvation. Give me eyes to see and a voice to tell of your glorious deeds, your mighty works, and your answered promises. I believe you are leading me to glory, so help me show and share that glory with those who do not know you as God, Saviour, and King. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Aim High…
Give yourself plenty to do. You get more accomplished when you attempt more. You won’t get it all done, but the more you attempt, the more you’ll accomplish.
Those moments when you are wondering "what to do next" are wasting your precious time. There are plenty of things in your life that need doing. Make a list and keep it handy. Don’t worry about getting it all done; just do one thing after another. Keep adding to your list. The list will never get done, but a lot of other things will.
You can do whatever you want. You can be whatever you want. You can have whatever you want. By doing it, by being it, by getting it. By doing what it takes. By making a list of the steps you need to get there, and then following those steps, one after another.
