Times of refreshing

Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,
- Acts 3:19

At times, the heavy physical, emotional, and spiritual burdens we feel are the result of a lack of repentance. We want to be free from that weight, yet we insist on keeping the right to do whatever we want, whenever and however we please.

However, when we draw near to God with repentant hearts and humbly acknowledge our wrongs, we receive deliverance from the burden of sin. Life takes on a new meaning when we live in the freedom God gives, freed, forgiven, and seeking to walk in His will.

Do not delay in going before the Lord. Talk to Him and ask for His help to overcome sin. The Lord always forgives those who come to Him with a repentant heart and strengthens those who desire to live in obedience to Him.

Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess
my transgressions to the Lord.”
And you forgave
the guilt of my sin.
- Psalm 32:5

Bring your burdens and your sins before the Lord today. Repent sincerely and receive His peace and presence. Walk hand in hand with the Lord every day. Embrace His forgiveness and the moments of renewal that His loving presence will bring to your life.

Yesterday's Word

Receive a gift from God!

5 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,²through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. ³Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; ⁴perseverance, character; and character, hope. ⁵And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

- Romans 5:1-5

Do you like receiving gifts? God is generous and likes to give us good things. He offers us many gifts, in the passage above we see some of the gifts he offers us:

Through the action of Jesus, we have been reunited with God: this relationship we can have with God is a source of peace.
Through the struggles and challenges we may face, we are given perseverance. Perseverance is character-building and ultimately provides us with the gift of hope. We have hope because of God's perfect plan!
Love has been poured into our hearts because of the gift of The Holy Spirit
All of this should be a source of Joy to us. We can rejoice since we are a part of God's perfect plan.

But the greatest gift of all is Jesus. Through Jesus, we receive salvation, eternal life, and God's constant presence in our lives.

Day Before Yesterday's Word

From the inside out

I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.
- Psalm 119:11

What is inside the heart affects our feelings, words, and actions. Therefore, if you desire to live a life pleasing to the Lord, you must take care of what you store in your heart.

Pay attention to what you read, the movies you watch, your conversations with other people; pay close attention to what you allow to enter your mind and your heart. Reading the Word of God, listening to it, meditating on it, and memorizing it are actions that will help you live a life of obedience before the Lord.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
- 2 Timothy 3:16–17

As the two verses from 2 Timothy say, the Bible is inspired by God and, as such, brings blessings to our lives. It teaches us the way of the Lord and what pleases Him. It rebukes us when we sin and corrects us, showing us how we can change our path to live the life God desires for us.

The Word of God also teaches us what is right, helping us to walk in righteousness, and prepares us to do the work that God has entrusted to us.

Fill your heart and mind with the Word of God today! You will see how it will transform you and help you become more like Jesus. This will be noticed in your outward attitude and will impact those around you for the glory of God.
