 Daily Thought – November 4, 2004
LIVING THE SOLUTION WITH DAILY INSPIRATION
What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this Father of our Master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we've been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven—and the future starts now! God is keeping careful watch over us and the future. The Day is coming when you'll have it all—life healed and whole. I know how great this makes you feel, even though you have to put up with every kind of aggravation in the meantime. Pure gold put in the fire comes out of it proved pure; genuine faith put through this suffering comes out proved genuine. When Jesus wraps this all up, it's your faith, not your gold that God will have on display as evidence of his victory. (1 Peter 1:3-7 — The Message)

Does your life feel brand new? God has given us a new life, a life different from the kind of life the world has to offer, a life filled with love, intimacy, adventure, and anticipation. We have this brand new life and the hope of life with God not just for the future in heaven but for right now, right here today, it started the day you accepted Christ’s sacrifice for you on the cross! Your future started at that moment and it starts each new day. The Lord’s mercy and compassion are new every morning. Whatever mistakes you may have made yesterday don’t matter; if you have asked for forgiveness, you start fresh. This should be a source of great joy for us knowing we have a life filled with perfect love offered to us. That should be a source of strength, even as we face our day with all of its aggravations and happenings and an enemy who is opposing us at every turn, trying to take our focus off of God.

God’s greatest concern is our hearts and our love for and trust of Him. He allows things in our lives to grow our love and trust for Him, to put our trust and faith on display for all to see. When all is said and done, when we come through with our faith intact because we kept our hearts connected with God’s, we will be a shining example to the world of God’s glory, love, compassion, and steadfastness.


Live it with Passion
