Psalm 145:8 The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love.
The verses today made me think of the bracelets and saying popular some years ago: What would Jesus do? (WWJD?) When we contemplate the question of what our Savior would do, we must contemplate it in relationship to both His mission and His character.
Psalm 145:13b The LORD is trustworthy in all His promises and faithful in all He does.
John 3:17 states, “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.” He didn’t come to wreak mass destruction, but He also didn’t come to play the games of the established religious. He came to disrupt the status quo, to turn the well ordered rules on their heads, to challenge everything that the people thought they knew about love, forgiveness, and religion. He came to save everyone.
Psalm 145:14 The LORD upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.
Lord, Thank You for this day and for Your outrageous love for us. Thank You for loving us so much that You came to save us from ourselves. Help us to ask ourselves in all situations, “What would Jesus do?” and to respond according to Your mission and Your true character. Draw us closer. Amen.
Psalm 145:18 The LORD is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
