The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 3:3 (HCSB)
Never let loyalty and faithfulness leave you. Tie them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 130:7-8 (HCSB)
7 Israel, put your hope in the Lord. For there is faithful love with the Lord, and with Him is redemption in abundance. 8 And He will redeem Israel from all its sins.
The Word of God for encouragement:
Psalm 36:7 (AMP)
How precious is Your steadfast love, O God! The children of men take refuge and put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.
Romans 5:8 (AMP)
But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us.
My observation:
The key verse for today's meditation is Psalm 130.7a. Today the choice word is the word love. There is nothing in the entire world more precious than the love of God for fallen mankind. The love of God is so overpowering that it is capable of melting the heart of the vilest sinner. It is capable of drawing the slightest to the greatest to the foot of the cross.
Where would I be without the love of God? Let me tell you the predicament I would be in. I would be lost in my sins, and destined for an eternity without hope in this world or the world to come. My life would be full of sin, and no room for the Savior. I would be a dead man walking around, without hope, and without God in my life.
Ephesians 2:4-5 (HCSB)
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love that He had for us, 5 made us alive with the Messiah even though we were dead in trespasses. You are saved by grace!
My prayer:
Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I extol you for your tender mercies and your unfailing love. Father, I will be forever grateful that your love found me, and profoundly changed my life and my destination. Father, I thank you for giving me a new life, and a new home in heaven.
