1 Timothy 2:5-6
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
What of Today’s Verse…
We do not need another person, no matter how mighty, pious, or special, to intercede for us before God. As his children, we can go freely, knowing that God himself has provided the perfect mediator between us and himself. That mediator alone is head of the church and chief priest before God for us. His name is Christ Jesus, our Lord.
Let us Pray:
O God, you are my God, and I praise you for making yourself so available. I know that in my power, I have no right to approach you. Yet in your grace you not only provided a ransom for my sin but a mediator for my approach to you. Jesus, I thank you as well, for paying the price and staying at the Father’s side to intercede and speak for me! Thank you for making this prayer known to the Father. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
What’s the worst that could happen?
There’s something that you really want to do. There is a person that you really want to be, deep inside. There is a life that you really want to live.
Go for it! Start today, taking action that will bring you to where you want to be. Are there any good reasons not to? Of course there are, but does that really matter?
If you’re hesitant to take action, ask yourself this: What’s the worst thing that can happen? Is failure the worst thing that can happen? No. Absolutely not. Each undesired result is just one more step toward your goal. Is success the worst that can happen? No. Of course not. Success is what you’re after. So what is the worst thing that can happen?
Nothing. Doing nothing is the worst thing that can happen. When you take action, you are sure to get results, and eventually you will get the results you desire. When you take no action, you are assured of getting nowhere — a wasted life.
The only way to avoid the worst thing that can happen, is to take action. Do it now. Live the life you want to live by doing what needs to be done.
