SPIRITUAL DIARY
FOR 02/25/2002
My
Worship Time Focus: God’s mercy displayed
Bible
Reading & Meditation Reference: 1Timothy 1:16
Message
of the verse: God’s mercy was on
display in the life of Paul. Paul said
in the 15th verse that he was the “chief” of sinners. Because of this people can look at these
verses and say that if God demonstrated his love, mercy, and grace with Paul
then He will do the same for them. Paul
says that Jesus has shown “all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are
going to believe on Him for everlasting life.”
Spiritual
meaning for my life today: What a
wonderful truth this is to know because when I pray for those sixteen lost
sinners each day I have the assurance that none of them is to sinful to ever be
saved because of the example of Paul. I
did not think that this verse meant this however after looking at the
commentaries and studying the verse again I do believe that this is the meaning
of this verse that Paul was indeed the “chief of sinners.” Another thing this verse says to me then is
that God is the only one who can judge things like that. Maybe I think someone else is a worse sinner,
but God is the One who does the judging.
The Word of God brought
enlightenment to me tonight.
My
Steps of Faith Today:
Because I have changed my schedule of doing my devotions I do believe
that this will have to be my steps of faith for tomorrow. I ask for help to get to the Church to do my
work with the men there. I ask for
strength and love from God to overcome fear.
Memory verse for the Week: Psalm 86:11: Teach me
your way, O LORD; I will walk in Your truth; unite my heart to fear Your name.
