Word Filled Wednesday

wfw-2008sm
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.  II Corinthians 5:21
Cross-1
The cross is the universal symbol of Christianity.  I recently read a devotion that talked about the design of the cross and what it represented.  One beam horizontal and the other vertical.  One reaches out – like God’s love.  The other reaches up – as does God’s holiness.  One represents the width of His love, the other reflects the height of His holiness.  The cross is the intersection where God forgave His children without lowering His standards.  How?  God put our sin on His Son and punished it on the cross. 
As we approach the Easter season, may our hearts reflect on the great sacrifice, love and victory of our Savior.

    It is an incredible thing to try and comprehend..
    I do not think we can ever manage to do more than glimpse pieces of the glorious truths of the Word.

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
