Inspirational Thought of the Day:
God stepped into time and flesh and radically demonstrated His love for us all.
Scripture of the Day:
James 1:18
“By his sovereign plan he gave us birth through the message of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.”
1 Peter 1:23
“For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.”
2 Timothy 1:9
“He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time.”
Acts 4:12
“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
Created in the image of God, we lost our way and worshiped something less worthy – the creation itself. How it must have hurt the heart of our Creator that we would not see how much He loves us and choose to live as objects of wrath rather than as His children.
But God.
Stepped into time and flesh and radically demonstrated His love again, wooing us back to Himself. I am forever grateful that God would cover our sins with His own blood and restore us into a relationship with the One Who made us.
This lavish love and redemption from God fills us with
Joy – affects our
Eternity – Leads to our
Salvation – Transforms the sin
Underneath – and makes us
Sons and daughters of the King of kings!
When we consider so great a salvation that He has given to us, we have to proclaim that He is Worthy of worship! My new song, “You are Worthy” depicts our need to worship one Who is greater than ourselves and the peace we find in so doing.
Lord, thank You for forgiving our sin and the guilt of our sin, setting us free to live for You! You are Worthy of worship!
