Jayamsih..! Welcome to today’s devotion.
Psalm 18:25-27
As the Bible reveals, God shows himself merciful to the merciful, and he shows himself righteous to the upright, we see a wonderful revelation. Not that we can work to be merciful and upright in any sense. It is impossible to give what you do not have. The truth is that we have become what God is, and that is love. Now we never try to become something in our self-consciousness. We are now graciously gifted and supernaturally created by God. As long as you are God’s, and observe what He has done, you will have no problem experiencing the nature of what God has given.
A finished work always reveals God’s glory (Exodus 40:33-35). Christians are supposed to grow from one glory to another. What is so glorious about our bodies? What is so glorious about our past problems, human complexities, vehicles, and observations? Is such glory full of our selfishness and our arrogant exaltation over others or our great self-exaltation in pursuit of vain glory? Is there anything so wonderful and glorious about our body’s knowledge of issues, debates, and doctrine? The Christian life is not difficult – it is impossible.
You cannot serve yourself by thinking that whatever you think is God. God is now, and He does not include your body. He did not allow Moses’ body to enter the tabernacle until it was completed. God wants to fill His house with glory, but to rest in Him and reap the benefits of who we are from God.
Today’s reading: Mark 7-10
