TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love" (Galatians 5:6B, NIV)..
TODAY'S WORD so often, it's easy to get caught up in our to-do lists of life. You might even have a spiritual checklist in your mind of all the things you think you need to do in order to please God. And we should have the desire to please Him and follow His commands, but pleasing Him starts with our heart condition. Scripture tells us in 1 Corinthians that only faith, hope and love will last into eternity. We can't have faith unless we first have hope, and our faith won't work without love. The point is that we have to remember to adjust our focus and make sure that we aren't just going through the motions in our spiritual walk. We can do a lot of "good" things, too. But if we don't have love, they won't matter in eternity. We can have a lot of knowledge, but if we don't have love, it won't do us any good. However, when love is the foundation for everything we do, it honors God and opens the door for the life of victory in blessing He has prepared for you! A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY Father God, thank You for Your blessing and peace upon my life. Today, I choose love, knowing that it fuels my faith. I don't want to go through the motions; I want to love the way You love me. Show me ways to grow in love as I keep my heart and mind fixed on You. In Jesus' Name. Amen. |
