I keep trusting in you, my Sovereign Lord.
I seek your protection;
don't let me die!
1 CORINTHIANS 15:55, 57 (GNT)
“Where, Death, is your victory?
Where, Death, is your power to hurt?”
But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
THE ESSENCE
Because of our connection to Jesus, death is no longer the final word in our lives.
DAILY FODDER
On a scale of 1-10, how much anxiety does the idea of your death produce? How does Jesus' resurrection affect your place on that scale?
PRAYER
Lord, you overcame sin, death, and the evil one. I am often fixated on death, afraid because death feels so final. Help me to fix my eyes on you and your promises. You are my living hope. You have promised me victory over the grave. In you I have life everlasting. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
