Life Journal, February 6, 2009



Purpose

Scripture
"We are here to proclaim that through this man Jesus there is forgiveness for your sins. Everyone who believes in him is declared right with God--something the law of Moses could never do."
Acts 13.38-39

Observation
It is all about Jesus.

Application (How will I be different today because of what I have just read?)
As a follower of Christ, I am here for one reason . . . to proclaim that through this man Jesus there is forgiveness for your [and mine] sins. Everything I do and say should point to that truth. If I live my life that way, without worrying about what others think or want from me, then I cannot go wrong and nothing else will matter.

Today, I will keep the main thing -- Jesus -- the main thing. I will not allow others to dictate what I say or do . . . only Jesus.

Prayer
Father God, too often I forget the one reason that I have life . . . it is because of You and the gift of Your Son, Jesus. Thank You. Today . . . and everyday . . . may my focus be only on You. May I point to You in what I say and do. Change me Lord. Use me. Forgive me when my eyes move off of You and onto myself. It is not about me. . .it is all about You. Thank You for loving me so faithfully and patiently. My hope and trust are in You. People will let us down . . . but You never will.
