Taking the Hit
Acts 20
Today's devotion focuses on sacrifice as a demonstration that we are willing to serve God and expect God's greater reward. Yet another theme of this devotion that was implied and should have been more explicit is one of control. I have had difficulties turning control of my life over to God and He has graciously molded me in this area, demonstrating immense patience, compassion, mercy, etc. in the process - Thank You Jesus!
My Prayer: Lord You are an awesome God full of love and compassion for me...You are merciful and patient with me, even though I am not deserving. Again Jesus Thank You. Help me overcome and turn from such sin and turn towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength. Help me love and dispense grace to others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give me strength. Give Lisa strength. Please heal and cure her of her cancer and the side effects from chemo and radiation. Help me lead and serve Lisa, Zach, and Dustin. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
Acts 20
However, I consider my
life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete
the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good
news of God’s grace. v24
