GOD IS GOOD AND HE IS ALSO SEVERE

 
Romans 11:22
 
"Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off." ESV
 
The love of God is boundless and glorious. Do we really understand that the severity of God is just as real as His kindness. We will bask in His love for eternity if we continue walking in His love. We will become well acquainted with His severity if we fall away from His love and light.
 
Heavenly Father, how we praise You for Your boundless love that resulted in our salvation. Help us to understand that there is a severe part of You that cuts off those who refuse to believe. Give us wisdom to accept that there will be some who will not enter the gates of heaven. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

FASHION STATEMENT

 
Colossians 3:12


"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience." NIV


"Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, and longsuffering." KJV


We can tell a lot about people by the clothes they wear. So many different styles and ways to dress. One thing for sure, most people wear clothing and would be embarrassed or arrested if they were caught naked. If we stop for a minute and look at the spiritual world, many people, including Christians, are spiritually naked. They don't seem to be concerned about it at all. God expects His people to be fully clothed spiritually so that we won't be ashamed when we represent Him to the lost in this world. The greatest spiritual fashion statement a Christian can make is being compassionate, kind, humble, gentle, and patient. These things never go out of style and look holy and majestic to our Lord.


Heavenly Father, forgive us for neglecting to dress spiritually appropriate. Search us and reveal to us the spiritual clothes we wear. Help us to never be naked of those things that You consider holy and pleasing in Your sight. Help us to be aware of how we dress spiritually and make us pleasing in Your sight. In Jesus' name, Amen.
