2 CHRONICLES 25:8 (NCB)
Remember that God has the power to help you or to cause your defeat.
MATTHEW 10:29, 31 (GNT)
For only a penny you can buy two sparrows, yet not one sparrow falls to the ground without your Father's consent... So do not be afraid; you are worth much more than many sparrows!
THE ESSENCE
God has the power to make or break you. Fortunately, you're incredibly valuable to him.
DAILY FODDER
If we're so valuable to God, and he is so powerful, why is it that sometimes people break?
PRAYER
God, I take comfort in Jesus' declaration that people are valuable. I confess, though, that sometimes I'm afaid because I've seen so many people crash and burn. I'm not sure that I'm so different. Help me to relax in your love and to realize that even if I "crash and burn" I'll still be alright in the overall scheme of things. I realize that you are in charge and that because of Christ I am in the best of hands. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
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.
