Read Romans 10:1-13.
It sounds so simple. Declare and believe. Declare that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead. That’s it. Yet people everyday try to complicate it. “It can’t be that simple,” they say. “There has to be more to it than that.” But there isn’t. Declare and believe. Probably the greatest challenge we face in sharing our faith with others is the helping them to overcome that obstacle.  Would you agree?

    I think the heart of this passage is verse 3.

    Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.

    I think over the years and centuries every time people calling themselves believers sought to establish their own righteousness instead of asking God to show them what righteousness meant, they alienated people, committed injustices in the name of their righteousness, and generally lost their way.

    As the song says, "I'm coming back to the heart of worship, where it's all about you...it's all about you, Jesus". That's all we really need to do.

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?
