Living It Out This Week
*March 12-18, 2023*
Drawing near to God requires not purity but humility. When we draw near there is a promise of Him drawing near to us, as well. May these verses help you draw near to God experiencing repentance, forgiveness, grace, and God’s presence.
Sunday-James 4.1-10: Notice the promise tucked in these verses. The challenge is for you and I to live out a friendship with God in a practical way. God desires us, all of us.
Monday-Luke 15.11-32: Which part of this story of Jesus sticks out to you? Which son do you most naturally relate with? The truth is Jesus offers forgiveness to all and is actively seeking those who turning towards him. How has God ran towards you?
Tuesday-Luke 16.13-15: Divided loyalty is no loyalty. We must be careful to not have our faith in Jesus become divided by becoming entrenched in the values of this world. Pray for the resolve to serve Christ first and foremost in all things!
Wednesday-Proverbs 3.34-35: James quotes this verse in chapter 4. Look at the surrounding verses: what do you see? Notice the commands in verses 3 and 5-7.
Thursday-Acts 17.16-34: All are called to repent. You, me, our leaders, our children, the whole world. We, as God’s people, can show the world how to do this. What does repentance look like?
Friday-1 Peter 5.6-11: Peter and James say very much the same thing. Humility and submission to God is possible because of the grace of Jesus. Rest in Jesus’ grace today.
Saturday-James 4.11-17: Join us in worship tomorrow! Pray for our worship tomorrow. Pray that our eyes would see the Lord! Invite someone to be with you in church.
