Today I read: 1 Kings 16, Psalm 37, Ezekiel 46, and Colossians 3.
Gospel summary: God will judge all evil-doers in time, so we must never be envious of them, but must continually put off our old sinful ways and put on righteousness, for we've been raised with Christ and will inherit the earth.
Prayer: Awesome God, I thank you that you so graciously raised me from my spiritual grave to new, everlasting life in Christ. Glory be to your name alone! Help me always be aware that I am not the same man I once was and enable me to live like a redeemed child of God today. Give me grace to see that the temporary blessings of the wicked will one day come crashing down and that your redeemed and resurrected ones will eternally reign with you and inherit the earth. Fix my heart on the treasures you've purchased for me in Christ so that I don't get fixated with the fleeting pleasures of sin. Help me to put off the old self and put on the new. Help me to see that to have you is to have all my soul so desperately needs and craves. In the precious name of Jesus I pray, amen.
