Read Romans 1:16-17.
Paul explains that he is not ashamed of the gospel. Why? Because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes. The Gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ that forgives sinners all their sins. If your life has been touched, changed and transformed by Jesus and, if all of your sins have been forgiven, of what is there to be ashamed? 

Don’t be ashamed of how God has changed your life. And don’t be embarrassed about letting the light of Jesus shine through you. It is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.

  1. This is my prayer: that I can confidently stand on Paul's words, "I am not ashamed of the gospel," and that I can bring the love and message of Christ to all those that I meet. It sounds simple, but sometimes it's intimidating! However, I know there is nothing to be ashamed of and that God will always give me the strength I need and the words to say in any situation.

  2. This reinforces the message that our righteousness is in faith in God, not in what we did today...or, sometimes, didn't do.

    What a relief and a blessing. I am enough. My faith is enough. God is enough.

    One day at a time...one step at a time...God is doing things, and my life is transformed.

Read James 1:2-15. One of the greatest challenges I face is seeing the trials that I face as assets. It is through those trials – difficult and distressing as they may be – that my faith becomes stronger. In them I learn to trust in God’s providence and His promises. So today, instead of grumbling or bemoaning, I want to ask:   “God, what can I learn today? How can I grow?”

Read John 15:1-17. The phrase from this passage that stands out the most to me is found in verse 15: “I no longer call you servants … instead I have called you friends.” This speaks to me of a different kind of God – a God who desires a relational connection to each of us. That echoes throughout the passage, of course, with the imagery of branches connected to the vine. But to be considered a friend of Jesus is a far more intimate image for me. As with any friendship, I need to cultivate that friendship, spending time with Him, talking to Him, listening to Him. That’s my goal today.

Read Proverbs 3:5-6. Some of the greatest wisdom is found in these verses. And some of the greatest understanding comes out of reflecting upon the question: How am I to trust God in the midst of uncertainty? How am I to completely and fully depend, not upon myself, but on the provision, the peace, and the protection of God?     How might you acknowledge God today so that the path of God might be clear for you in the days ahead?
