DAILY READINGS: 2 Samuel 2:1-32; Micah 4:9-5:15; Romans 11:1-12
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23, NKJV
God created man as a special creature, for His own glory. But all have sinned. In fact, all humans possess a sin nature and thus deprive God of His glory. For this cause God judges sin and sinners. To restore to God His glory, man must be spiritually born again and come forth with a new re-created nature in Christ. After such re-creation, the saved sinner is expected to walk in newness of life, glorifying God. May God help us to walk as we should. —Doug Kazen
The Lord will perfect that which doth concern me,
Expecting me to show Him on my part;
A trust intelligent and full of interest,
In all these purposes of His great heart. —W. A. Iverson
