Isaiah 61:10
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorned herself with her jewels.
What of Today’s Verse…
This is God’s promise to his people after their Messiah comes with healing and power to bless them with the Lord’s favor. In many ways, this is our promise as Christians. We do rejoice greatly because God has delivered us from law, sin, and death through the coming of our Savior and Lord. Because of Jesus’ sacrifice, as God’s children we are clothed with Christ (Gal. 3:26-27) and given garments of salvation and robes of his righteousness.
Let us Pray:
Thank you, dear Father, for making me righteous by Jesus’ sacrifice. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for paying the price for my sins to give me life. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for cleansing me from my sin and empowering me to live for God. May I, dear God, live in such a way that those around me know that you have made me whole and holy. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Learn to grow…
Your goals are important because of the person you become in achieving them. Attainment of your goals is always nice, but even better is the growth that you experience along the way.
Look at the goals that you have set for yourself and ask yourself: what kind of person must I become to reach these goals? What skills, values, character traits, knowledge and disciplines must I develop to accomplish these things?
Life is a never-ending growth process, and without growth, there is no life. Your goals and dreams will point you in the direction of the growth that you need for your own life to be filled with accomplishment.
