WOOPS!

Forgot about this blog once I got my new computer hahaha (didn't transfer my bookmarks over)

I'll try to start updating with devos more often from here on out.

Romans 1:16

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.



Lord, let that ring truer now than ever before.

Majesty

Your grace has found me just as I am.
Empty handed, but alive in Your hands.

Sin Is Not A Mistake

“Jesus didn’t die for our imperfections. He didn’t die for our mistakes. God brushes off our mistakes and imperfections just like we do, even more easily, in fact.

Sin is not a mistake. Our sin is our willing unlawfulness,our purposeful breaking of God’s law. In attitude and in deed, we rebel against God, and we have for that reason forfeited our right to live. We deserve to die for our sins. That’s what the death of Jesus is for. For our deliberate unlawfulness.”

- David Hansen

I ask you to put on Christianity like a pair of spectacles and look at the world with it. See what power it has to explain what we know and see.

— Timothy Keller. In “The Reason for God”

I feel like my fear of God has vanished.

What a terrible feeling.

What promise has gone unfulfilled in your life so far? Marriage? Pregnancy? Healing? A particular promotion or position? Salvation for a loved one? Will you, like Habakkuk, quietly and humbly wait for God's fulfillment on His promise? If Habakkuk can wait quietly for divine action on the grand scale he had in view, then surely you and I can calmly yield to God's timeline in our relatively little lives. Please don't misunderstand this. Waiting is not resignation; waiting is an active trust in God to provide fulfillment in His perfect timing, according to His ultimate purpose of glorifying His Son. Yes, the righteous person shall live by faith (2:4)--and that faith requires waiting.
