Watch this! I’ll melt them down
and see what they’re made of.
What else can I do
with a people this wicked?
MARK 13:13 (MSG)
Stay with it—that’s what is required. Stay with it to the end. You won’t be sorry; you’ll be saved.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Those who endure God's purification process won't be disappointed.
DAILY FODDER
What impurities is God in the process of melting out of your life? Why does he bother?
PRAYER
Lord God, thank you for adding me to your community of grace. I confess my first instinct is to go it alone. You rub off my rough edges as part of your plan for me. Today burn away my pride and let me meld with others. Make me an alloy of endurance and an ally of peace. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen!
