Proverbs 15
We all sin (Romans 3:23, 1 John 1:8) - and the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). We should fear God because nothing is hidden and because we don't get what we deserve. Instead, we get what we don't deserve - mercy, compassion, forgiveness, and life - Jesus Christ.
As well, God is expecting big things from us - see also the Parable of the Talents. We will be held accountable for how we are good stewards of the time, talents, and treasure entrusted to us (Revelation 20).
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an amazing God who loves me and who gives me what I don't deserve - grace, forgiveness, and life - thank You Jesus! I am not worth such love. I worry. Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You do. help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. v3
