God's plan was purposed in Christ. It >centered on Christ coming at the right time. God's plan was to >bring unity in Christ by making him Lord of all! What's more, >this plan that brings our salvation brings God great pleasure. >God is the only saving God and Jesus is both our Savior and >Lord. So the real issue we face today is this: What area of >our lives, our hearts, our secrets, our sin, our rebellion, >have we not submitted to his lordship? > > >MY PRAYER... > O Precious Father, I know my heart can be deceitful. At >times I can even fool myself. But when I kneel in your >presence and am convicted by your Word, I find myself reminded >of the areas I have not yet fully submitted to your control and >Jesus' lordship. Please, dear Father, use the Holy Spirit to >gently show and convict of my self-deception so that I may be >wholly lost in your will. Through Jesus, Lord of lords, I >pray. Amen. > >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written >by Phil Ware of HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: >http://link.crosswalk.com/UM/T.asp?A1.21.19058.1.1286813 >----------- >HEARTLIGHT is a non-profit organization and needs >your help!
