Shameless Living
Like Firewood,
God’s Word Fuels Our Lives
And Saves Us From
the Dark Cold Of Sin.
Psalm 119:6
Then I shall not be put to shame, having my eyes fixed on all your commandments.
.
Luke 8:15
But as for that in the good soil, these are the ones who, when they hear the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patient endurance.
…
Words of Grace for Today –
…
The world demands great things from us, mostly that we make sense of a senseless stream of dishonesty, brutality, betrayals, and greed.
There is no sense to be made of them, other than that they are senseless, driven by corrupted hearts and minds.
Fixing our hearts and minds on God’s Word and Commandments will guide us to live with some sense of right and wrong. Hearing God’s Word, and holding fast to it with open, good, and honest hearts and minds will lead us into great difficulties, out of which God sometimes brings us, after enduring great trials, to enjoy peace, calm, and a bit of prosperity.
Rarely God will deliver us without any shame going down on us.
But we will always fail to follow God’s Word and Commandments. We can only hang our heads in shame. What then?
What will save us when hearing God’s Word and Commandments is impossible to translate into perfectly, honestly, willingly following and keeping God’s Word and Commandments?
Only God’s good grace, as always, can come to our rescue.
So we pray, give us good and honest hearts, and lives that hear and keep God’s Word.
But more we pray, God forgive us, renew us, and free us from our inevitable shame, so that we might live beyond the stream of dishonesty, brutality, betrayals, and greed, in which even we are caught up in. Help us live your Word.
