John 18.1-18-I must drink from the cup that the Father has given me.
2 Chronicles 26-He obeyed the LORD by doing right
Psalm 83-Make them realize that you are the LORD Most High, the only ruler of earth!
Jonah 3.10-4.11-When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil ways, God changed his mind about the calamity that he had said he would bring upon then; and he did not do it.
Romans 8.28-39-Nothing will separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Psalm 55-But I call upon God, and the LORD will save me.
"That’s my favorite pizza."- A birthday gift to Mom- she loves conversation and Capozzi’s Pizza- I have things that are favorites too- but sometimes it’s not my favorite thing that God calls me to do- sometimes I have to do the thing that is not favorite—Jesus had to do some hard things- he had to drink from the cup God gave him to drink- and it included his death on a cross- but he obeyed- he gave his life for the benefit of the entire world- now it’s easy to realize that God is God- he is willing to give himself for me and you- people that don’t deserve any of his gifts- people who instead deserve the punishment of death- but God gives life instead- through Jesus death – God gives life- and that’s the only way to salvation- not through anything I can do for or by myself- but through the life, suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus for me and for you—and with this comes the example set before us- for since Jesus gave the ultimate- nothing can separate me or you from the love of God in Jesus- yea—"That’s my favorite pizza." – And I’m will call to God knowing that he will save me.
Prayer- Lord, save me this day- then send me boldly into the day knowing that through all struggle, pain or even death – your love will never be separated from me- cause you sent Jesus in love to save me. Thanks be to God! -- Amen
