"And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for
the sins of the whole world."
-1 John 2:2-
Further Readings: Isaiah 43:6-9 , Acts 22:15-16
One night a woman dreamt that she was having a conversation with God. She was
angry about all the suffering and evil she saw around her, so she complained to
the Lord, "Where are You when the world needs You? Why don't You do something
about all this? " God gently replied, "I did. I created you."
God could send another flood, as He did in Noah's day, to cleanse away the wickedness of the world. He could, but He won't. He has promised never to do that again (Genesis 9:11). Instead, He chooses to work through human beings like us, changing us, then enabling us to function as His ambassador of change.
He changed Paul from a persecutor of the church to "His witness to all men" (Acts
22:15). Paul's life and letters taught, inspired, and comforted the church in its early
days, and they still do today. It was the power of God that changed Paul, then used him
to change the world around him. What about you? Are you living each day with gratitude and seeing how much He values each human life?
In God's eyes, every person is important
He sent His only Son not only to die for us
BUT FOR THEM TOO…
SPEND TIME TO PRAY !!!
To Meditate:
Are we too busy complaining about the state of society? Or are we howing society the solution is Jesus Christ?
Pray for:
1. For God's perspective towards the lost souls;
2. For God to work in our hearts and lives that He will bring about a change in our families, our communities and the world, through us.
Extra Encouragement
Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision,
Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
For I am with thee, and no man shall set
on thee to hurt thee: for I have much
people in this city.— Acts 18:9-10
Today, God has many people in this city praying for you as you go forth sharing the gospel
