Today

Today I am freshly and profoundly aware of the following:

That God is great and glorious and I am grievous apart from His Son's death on a cross for me.
That God's mercy is there for people like me and so I am thankful for the Gospel.
My profound capacity for sin and the reality of God's grace.
That it should have been me and not Him.
That pride is the great foe in my heart and humility comes from knowing better all that He is in comparison to all that I am not.
That a wife who prays for me is a gift of grace in itself.
It is not about me being right and you being wrong but plain obedience to God's Word convinced of it's truth, sufficiency, authority, necessity and inerrancy.
That the Holy Spirit prefers to convict than condemn those in Christ and I would do well to observe that pattern in my relationships.
That He has a plan- and He will work it out.

'All heaven is interested in the cross of Christ, all hell is terribly afraid of it, while men are the only beings who more or less ignore its meaning.'
Oswald Chambers
