Day 1: Mirror & Magnifier |
As you read through today's devotional, your attention may focus on the following paragraph. "As we gaze upon the cross, it becomes a mirror that reflects our true selves and a magnifier that enlarges our view of who we are. Sadly, this may not always be a pleasant portrayal." It is good to reflect upon who you are, how you behave, and how you can grow. But, it's even better to do this in the context of how God sees you. |

When you read 1 Corinthians 1, you'll find enormous help from Max Lucado on this topic. In the notes from his Encouraging Word Bible. He writes: |
To all whose lives feel like a crashed kite, [Christ] says, "We can fix this. Let me teach you. Let me teach you how to handle your money, long Mondays, and cranky in-laws. Let me teach you why people fight, death comes, and forgiveness counts. But most of all, let me teach you why on earth you are on this earth." Don't we need to learn? We know so much, and yet we know so little. The age of information is the age of confusion: much know-how, hardly any know-why. We need answers. Jesus offers them. |
With Charles Martin's teachings and the premium resources accessible through Bible Gateway Plus, you'll gain a deeper understanding how the Holy Spirit is now at work in us as we are continually being made "perfectly perfect." |
