Good Christmas Eve Morning!
1. Question – So how does a person get right with
God?
2. Thought – I’ve known young people who were
so solid in their faith that they were decades ahead of
the adults around them in terms of their spiritual wisdom,
maturity, and power of judgment. If they weren’t
living their destiny already, it was obvious they were
marching to it at breakneck pace. And then I’ve
known men in their 60’s – worldly men,
well-educated men – who were completely lost. They
didn’t know where they were going, what their
purpose was, or why their life mattered at all. I’m
not just talking about men who were going through a
routine midlife crisis. I’m talking about men who
were fundamentally immature when it came to spiritual
matters, lost souls with no conception of the fact that
they had an incredible destiny they were called to
fulfill.
So how does a person get right with God? By doing all the
things we’ve talked about in this book: by trusting
in the Lord and having faith in him. By trying to be
obedient to his commands. By repenting when you fall. By
having a spirit of thankfulness for all the blessings
you’ve received – especially the gift of life.
By being prayerful instead of prideful, humble instead of
arrogant. By dedicating your life to others, just as God
took on a human form so he could serve us. In short, by
being in union with God. (Ten Prayers God Always
Says Yes To by Anthony DeStefano)
The Lord replied, “Look around at the nations;
look and be amazed! For I am doing something in your
own day, something you wouldn’t believe even if
someone told you about it.”
(Habakkuk 1:5)
