Freely Give Us All Things

“He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:32 KJV). How can anyone make such a broad claim? Even more, what is to prevent anyone from making an application of this promise that would unsettle especially parents in front of their younger children? This is how we teach ourselves the promises cannot mean what they sound like they mean. Or, do we diminish the value of the promises to make ourselves more comfortable with our religion? Shouldn’t we immediately determine in our heart that God means what He says, and it is His problem or business to use such inflammatory language that would excite the imagination of young children? “But when Jesus saw it, He was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer [allow] the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God” (Mark 10:14 KJV). LORD, grant us the heart and outlook of children that we may better imagine what you so generously offer to us. Amen and amen.

Today Is The Best Day Of Your Life

Today is the best day of your life. Some may say it was the day they became a disciple, got married, or had kids. Scripture says, “This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24 KJV). Yesterday is past. Tomorrow may never come. Today is the only day you have in which to live. Use it as God’s gift to you. Let us rejoice and be glad in it! Thank you LORD, and thanks Jeff for the insight!
