Reading: 2 Corinthians 3 and Numbers 34-36
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:2-3, You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all. And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
Observation: Now days I feel we need a letter of recommendation to get just about any job even the minimum wage jobs that teenagers get in the summer. Also on every application they want three references so they can know who we are.
Application: Paul is saying as Christians we are to be living in such a way that it is obvious that we are different and that who we are we are because of the blood of Christ that was shed for the world. We are the letters of recommendation to the world and it is our calling to share what God has done for us and how we have been changed.
Prayer: Father I stand in awe of your presence. You make all things and make all things possible. I thank you for writing on our hearts and creating the new covenant with us. I thank you for your provisions and your blessings that you pour out on us each day. Lord I ask for the help and reminders to live as your love letter to the world and help us to shine your love to this broken world.
