Romans 5:6-8
At just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
What of Today’s Verse…
Jesus died for us, but not because he had some high hopes for who we are or what we would be. No, he died for us because he knew exactly who we are and what we would be without him. But praise be to God, we are now God’s righteousness because he took our sin and gave us God’s grace (2 Corinthians 5:17-21).
Let us Pray:
Holy God, thank you for Jesus, my Saviour. No words are adequate to express my love and devotion to you for such an incredible gift! Through him I give and live my thanks to you. Amen
Words of Wisdom
Just do it…
Sometimes there are things that just have to be done. The best option, when something needs to be done, is to do it.
Don’t worry about how you’re going to "deal" with it, or what it will do to your self-esteem, or what other people will think. Just do it. Take the action. You are in complete control of your mind and your body; no one has any power over you. Only you can control your own actions. And if there’s something that you must do, then you’re the one who needs to do it.
I can make excuses. You can make excuses. A child can make excuses. So what? Excuses don’t get anything accomplished. Action is the key to accomplishment. Discipline yourself to take action.
Yes, it is difficult. Yes, it is painful. Yes, it is inconvenient. And yes, you know it needs to be done. So just do it today.
