Time to make a difference

 


On this New Year’s Day, I discovered how the Israelites met up with God at the foot of the mountain of Mount Sinai as they entered into the presence of God that required them to purify themselves and refraining themselves from sexual intercourse (Exodus 19:7–15, NIV). Hence, I pondered upon how I could prepare others & myself to meet God in acting and speaking decisively on behalf of His afflicted people (Isaiah 62:10–12, NIV).

As such, I reflect upon how you & I could prepare our heart to receive Him where if we are truly repentant and humbled, to being saved and be satisfied; and to humble ourselves if we were to become haughty and arrogant; and to have our characters being straightened out if we were to become dishonest like tax collectors; if our rough ways to be made smooth like for soldiers and others, our crude temperaments would be tamed and refined (Luke 3: 4–5, NIV), as mentioned these pointers inside the Every Day with Jesus devotional text.

By this, I thank God for saving you & me by faith so that we could see the day of salvation as we share in the blessings of His glorious Kingdom (Luke 3:6, NIV).

We rejoice to see the day of salvation!

Foot-wash

As I did my today’s meditation, I pondered upon how the disciple Simon Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, do you wash my feet? .... You shall never...
