Good and grateful greetings to you from NC! I hope your day has gone well! My head is swimming, but may I share the relief? Jesus. Quite simply; Jesus! No matter what … What would God have us choose to do? In a day filled with adversity, …there were greater blessings to recall! Yet, at the end of the day, we are left to ponder on What would God like us to do from here? Questions remain, decisions to be made …
May I share with you the relief? Jesus! Once we choose Jesus, we will experience relief!
I simply hope this is a blessing.
Amen!
The only inspiration I can add for this Daily Devotion to God’s Holy Word is to inspire reading the Bible.
The 4 Levels of UNDERSTANDING the Bible; with the key word, “Understanding” the reading of the Bible.
1) The Simple meaning
2) The Implied meaning
3) The Deeper meaning
4) The Hidden meaning
And To God be the Glory!
Love in Christ,
Karen

At the end of Another “Monday”!
Jesus is always our Salvation!
God is not cruel. Let’s really take a look at the deeper meaning of what God is saying to us here. Perspective is everything to how we interpret what is read. All I hope to do is open our minds to consider God’s perspective.
The questions really are not so much about God’s Choices, but ours. God is faithful; and we can trust Him.
3 main things to consider
There are 3 main things to consider as we read this verse:
1) God’s Character! I share often, because I have seen God move in my life faithfully. I write to grow beyond the ordinary in my faith & to help others believe by seeing a different perspective. Ultimately, I believe that if we come to know & believe / really open our mind to think outside of the box, we will discover a God who shapes us thru the fires, because HE KNOWS we will trust Him, But He wants us to KNOW it!
2) God loved us enough to send us the Promised Son, Whom HE loves!
That alone deserves an explanation point.
3) God draws us to believe! We don’t believe because we are something special, but because God has it all covered! We believe because the Spirit of the Living God draws us to believe.
So getting back to this verse, it is entirely possible that some will reject Jesus, becasue they just want what they can get from Him, instead of desiring the friendship with God.
What does friendship rejection look like?
If I want to do a good thing for you and you are ecstatic about the gift, but then the gift was not obtainable, would you still love me? Or judge me less than a follower of Jesus? A friend is a friend who loves at all times…even thru the disappointment.
There are many things written in the Bible that show us human limited understanding. We must go beyond our struggles to see a Savior who died, was buried & IS Resurrected from the dead! Jesus lives; and in us, we shall surely know!
If we don’t give up on believing in Jesus, as knowing what a true friend is. The Christ the Son of the Living God lives to take us beyond the ordinary! Don’t get stuck …
“There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son.
John 3:18 NLT
TILL NEXT TIME!
Till next time! “Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
The address in the Bible is found in 2 Corinthians 1:2, and this is the NIV today.
