Pensées sur le Verset du Jour...
La liberté est un cadeau merveilleux lorsqu'elle est gérée avec responsabilité. Ne pas être sous la loi est une si douce grâce, mais nous voulons transmettre cette douceur les uns aux autres par le service, la gentillesse et l'attention.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Our freedom as followers of Jesus, the freedom to live by the power of the Spirit and not by law (Romans 8:1-4; Galatians 5:1), is a wonderful gift, especially when it is handled with responsibility and grace (Romans 14:13; 1 Peter 2:16). Not being under law is such a sweet grace, but we want to pass that sweetness on to each other through service, kindness, and care (Romans 13:10). Just because we are free to do something doesn't mean doing it is beneficial to our brothers and sisters in Christ or to those we are trying to influence toward Jesus. Freedom gives us the opportunity to do things in love, not just because we are commanded to do them. Love should be, could be, and must mean more than law.
Ma Prière...
Ô Grand Dieu de la délivrance, merci d'avoir sauvé Israël de l'emprise de Pharaon, David de l'épée de Goliath et Daniel de la fosse aux lions. Mais Ô Grand Libérateur, merci surtout pour le triomphe de Jésus sur le péché au Calvaire et sa victoire sur la mort au tombeau vide. J'ai hâte de te voir face à face et je te remercie pour ma liberté. Jusqu'à ce jour, guidez-moi alors que j'utilise ce don de libération pour servir tes enfants et vivre pour Toi. Au nom de Jésus, je prie. Amen.
My Prayer...
O Great God of Deliverance, thank you for rescuing Israel from Pharaoh's grasp, David from the sword of Goliath, and Daniel from the mouths of lions. But O Great Deliverer, thank you most of all for the triumph of Jesus over sin, hell, and the law at Calvary. Thank you for his victory over death at the empty tomb. I long to see you face-to-face and thank you for my freedom, won by Jesus and fulfilled in me through the transformation of the Holy Spirit at work within me.* May my love for others and for you mean more than any law could mean toward me being a blessing. Until the day Jesus returns, please Father, guide me as I use this gift of freedom to serve your children and live for you. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
* 2 Corinthians 3:17-18.
