I have been leading our Worship & Arts Ministry through a challenging and inspiring Bible curriculum called "The Gospel Project". Each time I read and prepare for my lessons, I am reminded more and more about the love and sacrifice Jesus showed for me on the Cross. I grow daily with humility the sense of who I am as a follower, and more than often, I become disappointed in myself. Why? Because of the sin in my life.
Read the following comments from this week. It speaks to the love and sacrifice Jesus made for me and the sin I commit daily...
Jesus ultimately revealed the character of God in His DEATH and
RESURRECTION. He revealed the Father's JUSTICE against human sinfulness
and rebellion, He revealed the Father's POWER and authority over Satan,
and He revealed the Father's GRACE and MERCY toward undeserving sinners
of every ethnicity. After comprehending these statements, I ask the
question today, "what should be our posture towards God?" Not one of
pride or arrogance for anything we can offer or do for God, but all
about what God has done for me. Humility, serving, loving, caring for
others.
My posture today towards God? Seeking Him and striving to know Him more. I can become easily distracted with different events from my day, so I posture myself to God today with humility and teach-ability. I want the Lord to shape and mold me. Lord, lead me and teach me to follow your example daily. Through your sacrifice, I want to tell you, with a grateful heart, thanks. I follow you today Lord. Lead me.
