If you are one of my regular readers, first I want I thank
you for reading and second apologize that I let the whirlwind of life get my focus off
what is important, God’s word and diving into it every day. Yes I missed the
last couple days I will be reading what I didn’t over the last couple days but
I will not be writings SOAP’s about them this time.
Today’s reading was Galatians 4 and Ezekiel 21-22
Scripture: Galatians 4:6-7, And because you are sons, God
has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you
are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
Observation: This entire chapter talks about how we were
slaves like Hagar, who can represent the law given on Mount Sinai making us
slaves to the law. Then talks about how though Christ we have been adopted into
Sarah’s free family making us free and fellow heirs in the promises God made
with Abraham.
Application: As a son or daughter of God though Christ we
need to look at our lives though the eyes of Christ. The eyes of Christ have so
many times been painted as a pacifist who would never do anything controversial.
The eyes of Christ are love at any cost, Christ loved the sinners and at with
them, that was a huge controversy because the law pointed them out. The Law was
put into place so that we could not do it on our own we could not be holy and righteous
without the free gift of Grace given though the death of Christ on the cross.
Prayer: Lord I thank you for another day to read your word
and share what is in my heart today. You continue to bless us and take care of
all the things we need. Lord I ask you to help us to accept the gift of Grace
your Son brought to us. Lord, I want to lift us all the tragedy going on in the
world, I ask you to send people into their lives that will help them process
the pain and see you calling them in their lives.
