John 15.1-16.4a-The greatest way to show love for friends is to die for them.
2 Chronicles 23-Joash is made king- the line of descendants from David continues
Psalm 80-But if you smile on us, we will be saved.
Psalm 98.1-4-for he has done marvelous things
Matthew 9.27-31-But they went out and spread the news about him throughout the district.
Psalm 102-For my days pass away like smoke
"Don’t worry; we will be able to take care of this."—A mechanic here to hook up hydrogen tube trailers. I wasn’t worried to begin with- I had complete confidence that they would do a good job and complete it on time. And that’s what God sent Jesus to do- a job- on time- with complete confidence in what he set out to do- to lay down his life for some friends- to lay down his life for creation- to lay down his life for me- surely that would bring a huge smile from God- I pray God can smile on me and save me- see how I need his salvation- see how I need his life- cause I can’t save myself- I depend completely on God’s saving act of grace- those marvelous things that only God can do—cause my life just passes by like smoke- compared to God and his eternity – my life is like a small puff of smoke- here and gone- just like that- but God has plans for my time – for this small interval of time in eternity and I must respond- how can I help but to go out and tell the news of a love so deep that even in the small puff of time –God’s love becomes an eternity – "Don’t worry; we will be able to take care of this."- Yea- I know and have complete confidence in Jesus my Savior.
Prayer- Lord, I love you and depend solely on your gracious action in my life—lead and guide me all my days. -- Amen
