DAILY DEVOTION - 20 OCTOBER 2020

Good morning. Peace be with you all. Rejoice in the Lord always.

"Babes in Christ." 1 Corinthians 3:1.    

Insight

Are you mourning, believer, because you are so weak in the divine life: because your faith is gone, your love is so feeble? Cheer up, for you have cause for gratitude and rejoicing. Remember that in some things you are equal to the greatest and a full-grown Christian. You are as much bought with blood as anyone is. You are as much an adopted child of God as any other believer. An infant is as truly a child of its parents as is the full-grown man. You have as much right to the precious things of the new covenant as the most advanced believers, for your right to covenant mercies lies not in your growth, but in the covenant itself; and your faith in Jesus is not the measure, but the token of your inheritance in Him. You are as dear to your Father's heart as the greatest in the family. You are like a bruised reed; and any less tender hand than that of the Chief Musician would tread upon you or throw you away, but he will never break the bruised reed.

Challenge

Today, instead of being downcast by reason of what you are and what you have done in the past, you should triumph in Christ. In Christ, all are made to sit in heavenly places. In Jesus, we are all heirs of heavenly things. Yet, if the root of the matter be in me I will rejoice in the Lord, and glory in the God of my salvation. May God bless and protect you all. In Jesus mighty name. Amen.
