Dear Friends,
At the end of the day, all I can think of are these two questions? In all matters, it matters how we respond, “Who is Jesus to you?” And What does Salvation look like? Salvation comes with mercy, grace and forgiveness; atonement & is a Work in Progress in getting us right before God. Jesus makes us Right with God, yet there is a transformation process that begins. Adversity is a part of the transition; as God gives us opportunities to experience HIS working Grace on our behalf. But do we choose God’s Way immediately? Or, don’t we grow through and by our mistakes, and troubles that come to us? This is how I believe God titled this devotion at the end of the day; for a Devotion prepared at the beginning of the day. Who is Jesus to you? I hope some part of this is a blessing to you.
HOPE IN TODAY MINISTRIES, INC., DAILY DEVOTION TO GOD’S HOLY WORD
God has a purpose set for everything under the sun!
And a purpose for the seasons to change … What is your favorite season? DO you have a least favorite season? Life is always going on even behind the scenes & there is a purpose in the Name of Jesus; just as there is purpose in the Seasons as they change!
How does this effect your view of how much we need God to sustain everything? Even the trees glorify God in the Creation He made. They don’t question their purpose, they serve their purpose.
Are we serving our purpose by glorifying God by honoring God in all that we think, say & do?
Friends, when you feel sad, you may be interceding for someone who feels sad or lonely?
Or maybe you are feeling forgotten like the writer did when he cried out to God in these Psalms?
But there is power in casting our cares to Jesus in Jesus Name!
Jesus is OBLIGATED to do something about what we cast to Him.
I just want to encourage you to invite Jesus in your life! & What takes us into the Presence of God?
1. Grace through Faith in Jesus Name!
2. ENTER His gates with _____ (Thanksgiving)
& His courts with ____ (Praise)
Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good.
His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation.
Psalms 100:4-5 NLT
Release the burden to the ONE who can make a difference! AND if there is anything God wants us to do, HE will let us know! Have a conversation with someone who loves the Lord Today!
When a tree feels the cold coming on, they shift gears & begin to rest from growing, but there is purpose in rest. Resting faith is trusting God when adverse conditions come, that praise and thanksgiving produces a peace & JOY like the beauty in the foliage as the seasons change.
I hope this encourages you to tell God what He already knows. Tell God how you feel, but learn to LET the Holy Spirit transform real feelings into the form of a prayer. IN Jesus Name, you can proclaim LIFE & Life everlasting with God.
Let Jesus turn your frown UPSIDE down, because Jesus loves us more than we can possibly comprehend!
Love in Christ,
Karen Rowe
