2014 Day 298 – Mark 6

Holy Spirit, Honor, Redeemer, Righteousness, Salvation

When Jesus visited His home town of Nazareth, the people took offense that a carpenter could speak with such authority and conduct miracles. Mark 6:4, Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor.” Jesus understood how people can be judged throughout their entire lives for what people think they are. They forget the power God has to transform anyone into a new creation. In Jesus’ case He was already transformed as God’s Son here on earth as a human and He is a perfect example of how God makes all things new. What we believe to be true about others, based on their past, does not define them. What does define them is the cleansing blood of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross to make all things new and make us worth of eternal life with Him.

2014 Day 193 – Revelation 21

Redeemer, Righteousness, Salvation

Just as God completed creation and Jesus completed the required work of salvation, so will the Trinity of God invite us all into the completed work of judgement that leads to righteousness in the new creation. Revelation 21:6 says, He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life.

2014 Day 183 – Revelation 12

Redeemer

The verse that stood out to me today was Revelation 12:12, Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.” Evil in this world works very hard to get shots in while it can, because in the end, God will reign and the devil knows it.

2014 Day 109 – Ephesians 1

Faith, Forgiveness, Holy Spirit, Redeemer

Today we begin the book of Ephesians. This book is another letter written by Paul to the church at Ephesus and the main purpose of this letter was to encourage and strengthen believers their faith. As I was reading, and since tomorrow is Easter Sunday, Ephesians 1:7-8 stood out to me, 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace 8 that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. The events on Easter give us the redemption and forgiveness of our sins. But there is another part to this passage which was brought on by the resurrection and is mentioned in verse 8; wisdom and understanding, which can only come with the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

Grace, Love, Mercy, Redeemer

If you have never heard of the Hip-hop artist Lecrae, then you have missed out. In this video he opens up about his past of crime, anger, and trouble, which ultimately led him to experience redemption through a powerful experience with God. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did.

Hope, Love, Peace, Redeemer

Lacey Sturm is the former lead singer of the band Flyleaf. In this video she unashamedly talks about how she found purpose in life through a relationship with God. Her life was not easy, but God was able to love her and heal her back into life that has an eternal impact on others. I hope this video impacts you as much as it does me.

2013 Day 258 – Job 19-21, Isaiah 2

Love, Redeemer, Trust

While Job continues to suffer and defend his innocence to his friends, he is still able to look to God and know where his redemptions comes from. In Job 19:25 he says, I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. No matter what struggles we face in this life, in the end we can be comforted to know God is in control of it all. God loves and cares for us and wants nothing but what is best for us; even in our suffering.

2013 Day 189 – Amos 4-6, Ecclesiastes 7

08 Monday Jul 2013

Redeemer, Relationship, Righteousness, Sanctification

I am still getting a lot out of reading the book of Ecclesiastes. Ecclesiastes 7:21-22 stood out to me today, 20 Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins. 21 Do not pay attention to every word people say, or you may hear your servant cursing you. We must never sit back and compare ourselves with other people sin-for-sin. It is easy to look at the sin in someone else’s life and make ourselves look righteous because we do not have the same issues. But in the end, no one is righteous. Our righteousness comes from sanctification we can not provide for ourselves. In Solomon’s day it came from the sacrificing of animals and offerings set by the law. Our sanctification comes from Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. Let us not forget that our efforts bring us no closer to righteousness than the oblivious acts of a fool who does not know Christ. Let us not take on the role of Christ in our lives by thinking we are good enough or that our efforts bring us closer to God; because they do not. Relationship is the only thing that brings us closer to God, nothing else. And distance from God comes from a lack of relationship with Him, not our sin.

2013 Day 131 – Ruth, Proverbs 23:1-18

Faith, Mercy, Redeemer

I love the story of Ruth. If for no other reason, I love it because it tells part of the story of the line of David, which ultimately is the line of Christ. The story itself is a story of mercy and redemption, much like the story of Christ. Boaz showed mercy on these widows and took care of them when they needed it most. While these women needed to do their part, by being faithful and doing what was required of them, Boaz redeemed them and blessed their lives. This is very much what our lives in Christ is like. We must do our part to be faithful in all we do, but in the end, Christ is faithful and takes care of us in all we do.

2013 Day 111 – Real Beauty

Forgiveness, God, Grace, Redeemer

Today, as I was searching for a video to share for our reflection day, I came across this Dove advertisement. It was one of those videos that show up before the one you selected and you have the ability to skip it after a few second. For some reason I decided to watch the whole thing. It was a powerful video about the differences in the way we view ourselves and the way others view us. It immediately made me think about how God views me in comparison to how I view myself, especially in the light of His saving grace. I challenge you to watch this video and think about how God views you. I guarantee He has a more beautiful view of you than you could ever have of yourself. It is even more powerful when you finally accept it even if you don’t fully believe it. I hope you enjoy it.
