Verse of the day: That is why we also strive, present or absent, to be pleasant with you (2 Corinthians 5,9).
What if you discovered (like the Pharisees) that you have devoted your whole life to trying to please God, but at the same time you have done things that, in God’s eyes, were abominations (Luke 16:14-15)?
- Can anyone say 😕 I don’t think it’s possible; Wouldn’t God reject a person who tried to please him.
- But do you see what that interlocutor did?He based his conviction on what God would like on his idea of what God is.
- That is precisely why we must begin with the character of God.
God is a spring on the mountain, not a bathtub; a spring regenerates. It constantly overflows and provides others, but a bathtub must be filled with a bomb or bucket.
If you want to glorify the value of a bathtub, you strive to keep it full and useful, but if you want to glorify the value of a spring, put down your hands, kneel and drink whatever you want, until you have the snack. and the strength to go down into the valley and tell people what you’ve found.
As a desperate sinner, my hope looms over this biblical truth: God is the kind of God who will be satisfied with all I have to offer: my thirst. That’s why God’s sovereign freedom and self-reliance are so precious to me. : they are the foundation of my hope that God will not rejoice in the ingenuity of the method of filling the bathtub, but in the inclination of broken sinners. Drink in the fountain of grace.
