May GOD who is all good, pardon and forgive everyone who sincerely desires GOD...
MARK 2:17 (MSG)
Jesus: "I’m here inviting the sin-sick, not the spiritually-fit."
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Through Christ, God heals the sin-sick who turn to him.
DAILY FODDER
What realistic alternatives are there to sincerely desiring God and his healing?
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for the healing that is available through Christ Jesus. We get to experience some of it now as a foretaste of what is coming. Forgive me for self-medicating my spiritual condition with less potent alternatives because they're cheap and convenient. I am turning from all that and confessing my sin-sickness so that you can turn me toward spiritual-fitness. I'm looking to Christ as my primary care physician. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
