By reading the scripture above each day you will read the Old Testament through in one year and the New Testament through twice in a year. This will change your life. Start Today! |
"Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you." (Jeremiah 31:3)
TODAY'S WORD , God did not create us because He was lonely. I don't mean to burst anyone's bubble, but God would have done just fine without humanity to contend with. The fact of the matter is that God is independent of humankind. In other words, God does not need us, or the rest of His creation, for anything. The apostle Paul explained it when he made this statement: God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. (Acts 17:24-25) God doesn't need me. God doesn't need you. He is not dependent upon any of us. Instead, He tells us, "I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you" (Jeremiah 31:3). So listen-God did not create humanity because He had to, but rather because He chose to. He chose to make us, and He chooses to love us.
So let's give praise and thanks to our Creator for His everlasting love.
A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY Compassionate Lord, give me a thankful sense of the Blessings in which I live, of the many comforts of my lot; that I may not deserve to lose them by Discontent or Indifference. Be gracious to my Necessities, and guard me, and all I love, from Evil this day. May the sick and afflicted, be now, and ever in your care; and heartily do I pray for the safety of all that travel by Land or by Sea, for the comfort & protection of the Orphan and Widow and that your mercy may be upon all Captives and Prisoners. Above all other blessings Oh! God, for myself, and my fellow-creatures, I implore you to quicken our sense of your Mercy in the redemption of the World, that we may not, by our own neglect, throw away the salvation you have given us, nor be Christians only in name. Hear me Almighty God, for His sake who has redeemed me, and taught me to pray. In Jesus Name, Amen. |
