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.
