BIBLE MEDITATION:
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me. John 14:6
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Materialism says, “Buy your way out.” The politician says, “Legislate your way out.” The army says, “Fight your way out.” Industry says, “Work.” The philosopher says, “Think.” But Jesus says, “There’s no way out but through Me.”
Jesus will save you by His grace, and He’ll save you all by Himself or you won’t be saved at all.
When you are saved by the grace of God, you are saved instantly, and you are saved eternally. Your goodness is not enough to save you, and your badness is not enough to keep you away. Jesus loves you so much that He died to save you.
ACTION POINT:
Take Jesus at His Word and say with the hymn writer, “Out of my bondage sorrow and night, Jesus I come to Thee.” Have you followed His way of salvation? Maybe you have a friend who needs this truth today. Share it; don’t suppress it.
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
