Deuteronomy 30:1-31:13; Amos 9:1-15; Luke 16:1-31
But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” Matthew 14:30, NKJV
When we lose sight of Christ, the way gets hard. Instead of feeling like a new creation, our life feels like a dusty, fruitless field and the pages of Scripture we read that morning seem dim and distant. Dear Christian, put all your confidence in the truth that God is pleased with His Son. Trust that when the Spirit says you are “accepted” in Christ, He means it. Set your mind on things above and see the Father smiling on you in His Son. —J. D. Fraser
Sinner, thou thinkest that because of thy sins and infirmities I cannot
save thy soul. But behold My Son is by Me, and upon Him I look, and
not on thee, and will deal with thee according as I am pleased with Him. —John Bunyan
