– Scripture:

So, let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him scamper. Say a quiet yes to God, and he’ll be there in no time. Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field. Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun and games are over. Get serious, really serious. Get down on your knees before the Master; it’s the only way you’ll get on your feet.

                               James 4:7–10 MSG

– Reflection:

                Let GOD Work

When we come to Jesus Christ, God comes close to us in a powerful pursuit. The infinite reaches down to the finite. The holy covers the unholy. Perfection seeks the imperfect. A believer’s salvation starts with a humble confession of our sins and the urgent need for Jesus to cleanse us. Our transformation continues with the humble recognition that we need Jesus daily in order to live holy lives.

Where do we go from here?

“Where are you resisting giving yourself fully to the Lord? God rescues undeserving and unworthy believers from death and the bondage of sin through the sacrifice of His Son. He places infinite and immeasurable value on us, and He can be absolutely trusted with our full devotion. Where do you feel pressured to resist God and deviate from His plans for you?”

Our Prayer for Today

“Father, I thank You for Your amazing love that compels us to trust You with our lives. Lord, please help us to replace our selfishness with Your humility, our resistance with submission, and our half-heartedness with Your wholeness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
