Here are my reflections and comments from today’s scripture from Our Daily Inspirations App.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, before I read or comment on God’s word, I pray that He prepares my heart to receive his guidance and ask that He uses me as his vessel to comment on His word. If you want to leave comments or feedback, you can email jp0870584@gmail.com. If Jesus spent a day with me, He would know without a doubt that I am not ashamed to call Him Savior no matter where I am or who I am with. God bless you.
The scripture is from 2 Timonthy 1:12: “For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.”
The devotion is titled It’s A Trust Thing by Darla Noble. Darla starts out thinking about trust. She talks about a friend who acted like they didn’t trust her. She says that God voice whispered to her “I know how you feel. Doesn’t feel very good, does it?” that was a wake-up call for her. She started thinking she had done the same with God. She concludes that faith and obedience to God is a “trust thing”. The Savior is truly worthy and deserving of our trust.
Reflections, Questions, and Challenges for Us: In what matters do you have difficulty trusting Jesus? If so, why? What will you do to change this?
Here is my response, yours may be different: There is no matter that I have difficulty in trusting Jesus.
A Personal Prayer for us: Dear Jesus, please take away every doubt, fear, and anxious moment we have. Give us a heart, soul, and mind that are full of Your grace and glory. We are never ashamed of You; our shame comes from our weakness. Please forgive us for the times we have not trusted You completely. In Your name we pray, Amen.
