SPIRITUAL
DIARY FOR 07-02-03
My
Worship Time Focus: Not yet dying for the
cause of Christ
Bible
Reading & Meditation Reference: Hebrews 12:4
Message
of the verse: “You have not yet
resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.”
(NKJV) “After all, you have not
yet given your lives in your struggle against sin.” (NLT)
It seems
to me that the writer is giving his readers a contrast of what they were going
through with that of what Christ had already gone through for them. Now as he finishes this contrast he concludes
that they had not given up their lives in their struggle against sin. They may be called upon to do this at some
point in the future, and if they are they have the best example to follow, that
being Jesus Christ.
Spiritual
meaning for my life today: I think
it is good to remember the song that starts out “this earth is not my home I am
just a passing through” in light of this verse I am looking at this
morning. As a believer in Jesus Christ I
am to be obedient to what He has called me to do while on this earth for it is
only my training ground for my real life beyond the blue. If at some point in the future the Lord would
call me to lay down my life for the cause of Christ I would pray that I would
be faithful and trust the Lord to give me the strength to do that very thing.
The Word of God was very challenging to my heart as I read
it this morning.
My
Steps of Faith Today: To
believe the Word of God and to trust the God of the Word in spite of my
circumstances or consequences.
