Jayamsih! Welcome to today’s devotion.
Request for Reconstruction
Isaiah 55:8-9
- When someone has his own will in grace, then he is taking responsibility, which can set him free from God’s plan. Grace does not extend itself so that we can knowingly go against God’s plan. Grace is the sufficiency of a person’s fellowship with Jesus within the plan.
God has many methods of grace, while man has many crooked plans to escape from these methods. It is very important to respond in our lives by accepting God’s method of grace as truth. An example can be found in 2 Kings 5. Naaman was angry with God’s method of grace. Naaman was angry when Elisha told him to wash himself seven times in the Jordan River. He wanted God to use the methods he himself had devised. When God chooses something inconsistent with his own will, Naaman responds wrongly.
Purification is included in the method of God’s grace. Our conscience is freed from the struggle with human responsibility. We cast our cares on Him who is able to meet all our needs by grace. Circumstances, therefore, cannot make demands for us, nor do we demand specific results from any situation. Instead, grace rules and grace makes the future perfect, because instead of asking for something in return for grace, we make it available to ourselves. It’s not about how the situation changes, but how I change when I look at the unchanging life. I will not be reorganized according to my desires, but I will live in the light that Christ may be the one who expresses my new life in the desires of Christ.
Today’s reading is Joshua 10-12
