JANUARY 18, 2020
All my life I have stood on the shoulders of giants
My parents, pastors, mentors and collogues
Even today in my devotional readings
I continue to stand on those who wrote before me
God’s words and truthful are simple
We are forgiven for our sins by the sacrifice of Jesus
Though salvation we are promised eternity with God
I marvel at the depth of His word and
the interpretations and wisdom of His disciples
His word is not just historical fact
It is how we should live, here and now
Jesus did not die for my past and future
But for all the things I face, here and now
Right now!
“I have been crucified with Christ,
my life I now live in the flesh,
a life of faith in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave Himself up for me”
Help me live in the light and promise of your Word
Right now!
Your words speak of our union with Christ
We are branches, friends, servants and disciples
We live in Him, we joy in Him, we work for Him
and we speak for Him
He is our life, our joy, our power and our salvation
Being one with Him means heaven begins now
O happy day.
The end of fatigue and weakness
The start of His strength and peace
No more sorrows, just infinite delight
Right now!
