Worship for Today
My friend Trevor faithfully sends out a daily "Worship for Today." His insight and ability to worship through The Word continually amaze me. I'm always blessed by what he has to share about the LORD and often moved to level of worship beyond words. Okay, let's be honest here. I sometimes find myself unable to catch my breath and all I can do is drop to my knees. Today is one of those days.
Here's in part what he had to say:
"When we embrace Jesus Christ in that same faith Abraham had we receive the blessings God promised to him. As we will read in Genesis 15:6, “Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.” How glad I am that my relationship with God is not based on my performance, but on the faith I have in Jesus Christ. Otherwise, I’m sure you all would miss me in the resurrection as I know I’d never make it based on living a good life. I just could never be that good. Not that my salvation hasn’t been earned. It has been earned! My Savior Jesus Christ died on a cross so that I might have an opportunity to join in the resurrection of life! What a wonderful God he is that sent his Son for me!"
Amen, Trevor. Amen!

There are always good reminders coming from you, Cheryl -- not only in what you say but also just in who you are. Even states apart, I can feel the presence of God through you! My favorite line from this entry is: "How glad I am that my relationship with God is not based on my performance, but on the faith I have in Jesus Christ." Oh yes indeed!
Amen to that sister! Love that and congratulations on the sabbatical!
