Sacrifices Pleasing to God- Hebrews 13 (ESV)

I started this devotional last year and I never finished. I’m glad I didn’t. I’ve done a lot of growing since then and the spiritual inventory I’m in now is wayyyyyy different than a few months ago.
.
The older you get the more you realized how much you’ve messed up. You’re almost (insert rounded age here) and you still haven’t got your life together! You’ve done this, and you done this and you should have done this and NEVER should have done THAT. Can’t go back and fix it. Can’t take back those words you said. Can’t take back those thoughts you thought. Can’t take back those sins. <keyword>. Well, that only leads you to believe (and everyone else) that you are in fact a failure. Guess what? You’re absolutely right.
.
But guess what else? There is grace. There is mercy. There is peace. Those are things you can’t mess up because they’re not your creations- they’re God’s gift to you. In failure, there is victory in the Lord. In this mess of life there is beauty because God made us in His image and He loves us UNCONDITIONALLY. No matter what we do as Christians. .
What we see may be a fingerprint painting disaster but God sees it as a beautiful masterpiece carefully constructed down to every square inch canvas of the fabric that is our life.
.
I love that this kit relates the message to art because if you’ve ever dabbled in art- it doesn’t take much to screw an art piece up. 98% of the time you can’t completely erase what you put down and you have to cover it up or work around it or trash it. If you have a piece you’ve been putting 400+ hours in (am I right art majors?) you do not want to do that! Heartbreaking! That’s life! We can’t cover up our sin, our mistakes, our regrets, troubles, our fears. Work around it?!? Seems impossible. But through God, it IS POSSIBLE. He won’t erase our problems but He will teach us how to deal with them and make them into something better out of our hot mess. Let the real artist be in charge!

"Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in steadfast love. He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot. 
​You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea."
-Micah 7:18-19 (ESV)

"We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done." -Psalm 78:4 (ESV)

Getting caught up here on my journaling entries. Really enjoyed this bold page. I was a reading a journal last night of a man who was a worker in Indonesia. He was a convert who was on a mission to save the princess of a young tribe. But to go back to that tribe would mean he would be killed (and possibly her too if they knew he had contact with her). He had such a passion for sharing the gospel and saving the lost souls he was willing to risk his life for them. His friends told him he was an idiot for wanting to do this because the people were so stubborn and hard hearted they were all destined for hell.
.
What if Jesus had felt like that? Everyone who is a Christian was once a sinner. Everyone Christian was once hard-hearted and stubborn. Because they didn’t know of the amazing covenant that Jesus offers us! Because he was BOLD enough to get out of His own bubble and be a witness for others in hopes to bring them into His inner circle. His bride that He has relentless love for

Acceptance- Live From It, Not For It

I’m not gonna post the whole thing but this entry is in the passage of John 4. Jesus had just embarked on His ministry in Galilee and then traveled to His hometown of Nazareth where He was rejected. The people who He grew up with. His communal “family.” They only saw Him as the son of the carpenter- nothing special and certainly not the Son of God. “Truly, I say I unto you, no prophet is acceptable in His hometown.” Now, if He based His ministry on the acceptance of the people, then He wouldn’t have gotten very far. BUT because He also said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because He has anointed me.” God anointed His Son and His ministry which means He accepted Him for who He was- not what he did or who liked Him.
.
I know a person in particular who bases their life off of the acceptance of people. They’ll buy gifts for them to win their affection. They’ll lie and make up ridiculous stories and calculations to make themselves look better than what they is. They even goes as far as to work extra jobs to make more money to spend on people who are only soaking up the benefits. They have no real friends. They have no peace in their life. I pity them. I pray for them. They don’t know what it’s like to be accepted for who they are because they don’t even know who they really are and they don’t like what they see now. Is that any way to live?!
.
Jesus didn’t live for acceptance from other people. He was already accepted. He had an internal peace in that no matter what happened, He was already accepted. He didn’t have to earn anything. He already has God’s love and stamp of approval The BEST part?!?! He allows His children to share in that amazing bliss! We don’t have to try to earn His acceptance- we already have it under the covenant of His redeeming salvation.
.
Acceptance: live from it. Not for it. 💖

"But the Lord is with me as a dread warrior; Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and will not prevail. They will be greatly ashamed, for they will not prosper. Their everlasting confusion will never be forgotten. But, O Lord of hosts, You who test the righteous, And see the mind and heart, Let me see Your vengeance on them; For I have pleaded my cause before You.”
​-
Jeremiah 20:11-12 (ESV)

I started this one many moons ago and finished a couple of weeks ago over the snow days. I was going through a tough time. Lots of changes, lots of attacks, and many battle scars. Being a Christian is NEVER easy. There is war waging inside of you all the time. There is turmoil. There is defeat. There is chaos. There is confusion.
.
BUT with all of that- God provides everything we need to power through. He gives us peace. He gives us truth. He gives us patience, and guidance, and long-suffering and self control to not punch somebody in the face when they’re being absolutely hateful and irrational. (We’ve all been there). He never leaves us either. He’s always right there. And to be honest, there is no telling how much He is doing and has done and will do that we don’t even know about. He provides us protection and safety and one single promise: the war has been already won. We just have daily battles we have to face with demons who know they have no promising future.
.
Remember your training. Remember what you have been through already in times past and that you have made it out. Remember what He taught you in those fights. It’s in our suffering that we learn the most. Don’t get caught up in the drama of day to day things. You’re a soldier. You are constantly in a battle whether you know it or not. Stay sharp. Stay focused. Keep training. Stay in the word. Don’t lose hope. Help your comrades.
