Father God let this touch someone’s heart today in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
I wake up with the mind set to talk to God and tell Him what I have a mind to do today to get things done as He guides me because I can’t do all this in my own strength. God always miraculously makes my days better and fuller of joy. When we cook, do dishes, laundry, clean house, do grocery shopping, pay bills, give to the poor, pay our 10% to church and give to others etc. We are giving to others. Sometimes it is hard in keeping up with all this and then some. God don’t want you to be a slave to anything or anyone, but free to do what is right in your life. Enjoy because everything is a gift from Him.
It reads in Romans 14:23 (NLT)But if you have doubts about whether or not you should eat something, you are sinning if you go ahead and do it. What is said here is: Let your yes be yes and your no be no. “Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
As we study through the book of Romans, and particularly chapter 12 and following, it is important to note that salvation is through God’s grace and not our works. However, a natural result of this salvation is to live a life pleasing to God. This is exactly where Paul picks up in Romans 12:1- And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you.
It reads in Romans 15:1-3; We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up. For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”
Wow! So Jesus heart bleed because of those who persecuted Him but in return Jesus didn’t sin. Like my mom would of said. “Killed your enemies with kindness so in turn they may see their own shame and turn back to God.” No matter what we go through or what we have done. Jesus still calls us His friend. Jesus loves us more than we could ever fathom.
{Let’s Pray}
Father God, I thank You and praise You that Jesus came to this earth to become my Savior. I thank You that Jesus did not come to please Himself. Jesus was prepared and was prepared to say: Thy will be done, even when Jesus faced the cross, knowing that it was only by His death that we can be forgiven and have life. Lord Jesus I believe for Your mercy on those that have been blinded to the truth by the enemy of our soul and believe that even today, many would come to faith in Christ and discover that in Jesus there is life and light for evermore. I love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
