A WORD FOR TODAY – TUESDAY 7^th SEPTEMBER 2010 

Be ye fishers of men -- you catch them & He'll clean them.

Right understanding of self-image

This is a whole subject in itself, which we won’t go into any depth now, however, in a nutshell: the right way for us to see ourselves is as God sees us, because God sees correctly. To see ourselves as greater than we are or less than we are is equally sinful and ignorant, as though we are better able to judge ourselves than God is.

“By the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment.”

- Romans 12:3

When we understand grace, we understand how God sees us: as people who have no intrinsic merit (and who, in that sense, have no reason for pride); but who he has chosen to make perfect in Jesus (and who, because of this, have no reason and indeed no right to feel anything less than perfect confidence in ourselves.) “Sober judgment” means accurate judgment, not false humility!

Worship

How could we possibly understand God's grace and not worship him?

What does God want for us?

“Delight yourselves in the Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart”

“In all your ways acknowledge Him, & He will direct your paths”

Read the Bible -- It will scare the hell out of you.

Be blessed today

Shalom    שלום
