Marie’s daily verse: The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves.He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing (Zephaniah 3:17).DAILY DEVOTION, March 22, 2022Your law is my delight (Psalm 119:74).We are not saved by keeping the law of the Old Covenant. We are saved by faith in Jesus Christ, who brought in a New Covenant. We do not keep the law according to God’s standard. We need a Savior to redeem us from the curse of the law. The law is good, but we are not good. What happens to the law of God once Jesus Christ has redeemed us? Think of God’s law as God’s will. As redeemed sinners, we love the will of God. The law of God is written on our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33). When we are born again, we have a deep love for the will of God. The law of God becomes our delight. Before faith was born, the law of God was like a great weight hanging upon our souls. Once we have been forgiven, we embrace God’s law eagerly. While we still do not obey God perfectly, as we live by faith in Jesus, His forgiving grace covers us.Father, I thank You for revealing Your law to us. While I confess that I have not kept Your law, I thank you for your matchless grace covering my failures. I delight in your law, and I delight in Your grace brought to me in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. I pray In His name, Amen.
Marie’s daily verse: 1 Peter 1:15-16 (NIV)But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”Daily Devotion, March 30, 2021Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God (Romans 13:1).Paul tells us to submit to those in authority over us, also reminding us that God is the ultimate authority. God has appointed all lesser authorities. Human government is God’s plan for creating order in the nations. We are to be loyal citizens, respecting those who govern over us. If we disobey government authorities, we are rebelling against God.Of course, governing authorities often stray from the will of God. In that case, we are to obey God rather than men (Acts 5:29). God has decreed human governments, but often, those who rule over us disregard the will of God. When government usurps God’s role and makes laws contrary to the Law of God, we are to obey God. However, Romans 13:1 is clear that we are to obey the government in all things that do not violate Scripture.We are also commanded to pray for those who are in authority (1 Timothy 2:1-2). We should pray that our government leaders will govern under God’s control. Our government was founded by those who recognized the ultimate authority of God. Pray that it will continue.Father, I do pray for those who rule over us in the government. Bless them when they act in harmony with Your will. Restrain them when they act in violation of Your will. Help those who rule to remember that their authority comes from You. I pray in that name which is above every name, Jesus our Lord, Amen.
