Listen to Today's Devotion

Forgiveness is not excusing, nor is it pretending. To forgive is to move on, not to think about the offense anymore. You don’t excuse him, endorse her, or embrace them. You just route thoughts about them through heaven. Revenge is God’s job.

By the way, how can we grace recipients do anything less? Dare we ask God for grace when we refuse to give it? It’s a huge issue in the Bible. Jesus was tough on sinners who refused to forgive other sinners. In the final sum, we give grace because we’ve been given grace.

In the story Jesus tells in Matthew 18, the master calls the servant in. “You wicked servant,” he says, “I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?” (Matthew 18:32-33 NIV). That’s a good question. We’ve been given grace – shouldn’t we freely give it?

Hope We Cannot Resist

3 hours yang lalu

—

Listen to Today's Devotion In a concentration camp, a guard announced a shovel was missing. Screaming at the men, he kept insisting someone had stolen it. He shouldered his rifle, ready to kill one prisoner at a time until a confession was made. As the story continues, a Scottish soldier broke ranks, stood stiffly at attention, and said, “I did it.” The guard killed the man. As they returned to camp, the shovels were counted. The guard had made a mistake. No shovel was missing after all. Who does that? What kind of person would take the blame for something he didn’t do? When you find the adjective, attach it to Jesus. Isaiah 53:6 (MSG) says, “God has piled all our sins, everything we’ve done wrong, on him.” Christ lived the life we could not live and took the punishment we could not take to offer the hope we cannot resist.

Seeing with Different Eyes

2 hari yang lalu

—

Listen to Today's Devotion See your enemies not as failures, but as God’s projects. God occupies the only seat on the supreme court of heaven. He wears the robe and refuses to share the gavel. Paul wrote in Romans 12:19 (MSG), “Don’t insist on getting even; that’s not for you to do. ‘I’ll do the judging,’ says God. ‘I’ll take care of it.’” Vigilantes displace and replace God. They say, “I’m not sure you can handle this one, Lord. You may punish too little or too slowly. I’ll take this matter into my hands, thank you.” No one had a clearer sense of right and wrong than the perfect Son of God. Only God assesses accurate judgments. Vengeance is his job. Give grace, but if need be, keep your distance. You can forgive the abusive husband without living with him. Forgiveness is not foolishness. Forgiveness is simply choosing to see your offender with different eyes. Read more Facing Your Giants: God Still Does the Impossible For more inspirational messages please visit Max Lucado .…

Make God Your Refuge

3 hari yang lalu

—

Listen to Today's Devotion He has a price on his head, no place to lay his head, but somehow he keeps his head. He turns his focus to God and finds refuge. Refuge is a favorite word of David’s in the Psalms. But never did David use the word more poignantly than Psalm 57—a song of David when he fled from Saul into the cave. On his face, lost in shadows and thought, nowhere to turn. But then he remembers he is not alone. And from the recesses of the cave his voice floats: “Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul rests in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge” (Psalm 57:1 NKJV). Make God your refuge. Not your job, not your spouse, not your reputation, or your retirement account. Make God your refuge. Let him encircle you. Let him be the foundation on which you stand. And that foundation will support you right into eternity. Read more Facing Your Giants: God Still Does the Impossible For more inspirational messages please visit Max Lucado .…

The Purpose of the Church

6 hari yang lalu

—

Listen to Today's Devotion The purpose of the church is to provide bread and swords. To the spiritually hungry, the church offers bread; it offers nourishment. To the fugitive, the church offers swords—weapons of truth! Romans 8:28 (NKJV) says, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” Food and equipment. The church exists to provide both. Does always it succeed? Not always. People-helping is never a tidy trade, because people who need help don’t lead tidy lives. But Jesus calls the church to lean in the direction of compassion. At the end of the day, the question is not how many laws were broken but rather, how many desperate were nourished and equipped? God’s sanctuary: where he gives food to the hungry and tools to the soldiers. Read more Facing Your Giants: God Still Does the Impossible For more inspirational messages please visit Max Lucado .…

Draw Close to the Savior

7 hari yang lalu

Listen to Today's Devotion Linger too long in the stench of your hurt, and you’ll smell like the toxin you despise! I spent too much of a summer sludging through sludge. Oil field work is dirty at best. But you want to know the dirtiest job of all? Shoveling silt out of empty oil tanks. The foreman saved such jobs for the summer help (thanks, boss). My mom burned my work clothes. Oh how the stink stunk! Your hurts can do the same. The better option? Everything from sunsets to salvation—look at what you have. Let Jesus be your friend you need. Talk to him. Spare no detail. Disclose your fear and describe your dread. Will your hurt disappear? Who knows? And in a sense, does it matter? You have a friend for life. What could be better than that? So rather than linger in the sludge, draw close to the Savior.

A True Friend

8 hari yang lalu

—

Listen to Today's Devotion Proverbs 18:24 (NIV) says, “There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” David found such a friend in the son of Saul. Oh to have a friend like Jonathan. A soulmate who protects you, who seeks nothing but your interests, wants nothing but your happiness. An ally who lets you be you. No need to weigh thoughts or measure words. God gave David such a friend. And God gave you one as well. David found a companion in a prince of Israel; you can find a friend in the King of Israel, Jesus Christ. He has made a covenant with you. Among his final words were these: “I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20 NKJV). Jesus also said, “I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them away from me” (John 10:28 NLT). Do you long for one true friend? You have one – Jesus Christ!

Your Father Knows Your Heart

9 hari yang lalu

Listen to Today's Devotion 1 Samuel 16:7 (NKJV) says, “Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” Those words were written for misfits and outcasts. God uses them all. Moses ran from justice, but God used him. Jonah ran from God, but God used him. Rahab ran a brothel, Lot ran with the wrong crowd, but God used them all. And David? God saw a teenage boy serving him in the backwoods of Bethlehem. Human eyes saw a gangly teenager, smelling like sheep. Yet, “the Lord said, ‘Arise, anoint him; for this is the one'” (1 Samuel 16:12 NKJV). God saw what no one else saw: a God-seeking heart. Others measure your waist size or wallet. Not God. He examines hearts. When he finds one set on him, he calls it and claims it. Your Father knows your heart, and because he does, he has a place reserved just for you.

Focus on God

10 hari yang lalu

Listen to Today's Devotion God called David a “man after his own heart.” One might read his story and wonder what God saw in him. He fell as often as he stood. He stared down Goliath, yet ogled at Bathsheba. He could lead armies but couldn’t manage a family. Raging David. Weeping David. Bloodthirsty. God-hungry. Eight wives. One God. A man after God’s own heart? That God saw him as such gives hope to us all. Straight-A souls find David’s story disappointing. But we need David’s story, most of us do. Giants lurk in our neighborhoods. Giants of rejection and failure and revenge. Giants. We must face them, yet we need not face them alone. Focus on God. The times David did, giants fell. The days he didn’t, David did. Lift your eyes, giant-slayer! The God who made a miracle out of David stands ready to make one out of you.

As If Upon Knees

13 hari yang lalu

Listen to Today's Devotion Unceasing prayer may sound complicated, but it needn’t be that way. Do this: think of prayer less as an activity for God and more as an awareness of God. Seek to live in uninterrupted awareness. As you stand in line to register your car, think, “Thank you, Lord, for being here.” In the grocery store as you shop, think, “Your presence, my King, I welcome.” As you wash the dishes, worship your Maker. Brother Lawrence called himself the “lord of all pots and pans.” He wrote: The time of busyness does not with me differ from the time of prayer; and in the clatter of my kitchen, while several persons are calling for different things, I possess God in as great tranquility as if I were upon knees at the blessed sacrament. So talk to God, always. Read more Max on Life: Answers and Insights to Your Most Important Questions For more inspirational messages please visit Max Lucado .…
