Genesis 41:14-45
Psalms 8, 24, 29, 84
Romans 6:3-14
John 5:19-24
This lesson in Genesis can be likened to the course of a Christian’s spiritual journey. Each day of our lives, we have a choice to make where Christ is concerned, and our coherence to His way. We are all travelers on a journey toward Christ.
Our journey consists of times when we perceive the abundant blessings and close presence of the Lord in our daily lives. It is during those times that it is easy to fulfill the purpose He has placed within our hearts to love and serve him with all of our selves, and to love others equally. We skip along extolling God’s grace, His love, and His excellence.
However, there are also times when we perceive dryness or the absence of His presence and we have the choice of succumbing to the temptation to doubt and fear, and thereby changing our walk with Him. Will we choose to be ravaged by that dryness or will we choose to remember and draw on those times of abundance from out Savior? Will we continue to extol God’s grace, His love, His excellence?
Through the study of scripture, we can rely on and stand firm in His promise to sustain us along the journey. So, in whatever circumstance you may encounter, will you choose to draw on His promises? Will you rely on His grace, His love, and His excellence? Will you choose to truly follow the one true Savior, Jesus Christ?
Prayer:
Dear Lord:
Help me to always choose You and Your way.
Help me to know that though I sin, that nothing can separate me from Your love.
Help me to know that sin has no dominion over me, for I am not under the law, but
under Your grace.
Help me to choose You and Your way. Amen
