The daily thread.

[Martyr's Crown]

Ever since the fall of man this world got tainted by sin's nature, everything became uglier. Imagine; Before all of this everything were perfect! There were no spots nor blemishes.

Everything i see is ugly, even myself. Thank God for the Lord and His beauty

In which way do you mean that you see yourself as ugly? Or is it more because of the sinning part you mean?

How could you be ugly with Jesus Christ living inside of you?

 

[W2L]

Yes sin.

 

[W2L]

How could you be ugly with Jesus Christ living inside of you?

He is the only beautiful thing about me. Sorry, perhaps i sound pitiful again, that wasnt my intention.

 

[W2L]

Maybe others feel this way about themselves, and maybe they will find my words helpful. It was the apostle paul who said he was the biggest sinner, and he also said that he was a wretched man, and that there was no good in his flesh.

Whatever your intention was, you still see yourself as an ugly sinner. Jesus made you righteous, you don't have to see yourself that way anymore.

I used to think just like you do now. Until I really started believing that Jesus Christ had made me righteous.
Believe this word from God and it will set you free.

He did see himself as a wretched man in Romans 7. But thanks be to God for Romans 8.

 

[W2L]

Romans 8:24 For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

Thanks Doug.

God is interested in every part of your life.
Matthew 10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Luke 12:7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Parents love there children, but how many parents count how many hairs are on there child's head.
God numbers even our hairs. And if He does that, how much more do you think He is concerned about every other part of your life?

I try to make God's job a little easier by regularly shaving them all off.

This was encouraging to read. I thought earlier about, as well as told God, after reading about a great fire which happened in Greece recently, how they should seek Him to provide for them.

People who don't know God will worry about their losses easier, as they hold on to their material needs, which they can see. But when they seek God and ask Him to take care of them, as well as telling Him about their every need, He will provide for them.

All of this requires a little bit of faith given. And faith in the things which are unseen, something which is hard for a lost world to fully grasp. Yet it isn't impossible, as it all starts with faith as small as a mustard seed.

You are welcome. I find Jason Gray's music to always be timely.

 

[W2L]

Romans 12:12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Good message here in this Psalm.

This reminds of another psalms based song I know of which is also one of my favourites. In general; There is always something more powerful with songs which uses God's Word as their lyrics or inspired by God's Word.
