I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.
Thoughts on This Verse....
One of the most amazing things that Jesus ever said, he said to his Father in heaven: "I have completed the work you gave me to do..." In fact, when he breathed his last, he said; "It is finished." Let's live with the glory of God our highest priority! This is our purpose as God's children (cf. Eph. 1:6, 12, 14; 1 Pet. 2:9-10). The more we live by Kingom priority (Matt. 6:33), the more we can rest assured that we can finish our lives with a line similar to Jesus!
John 17:15
My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.
Thoughts on This Verse....
Jesus, in showing his love and care for his disciples in prayer before God, is our great example that we must, we should, and we can pray for God's spiritual protection on those we love.
Proverbs 20:22
Do not say, “I'll pay you back for this wrong!” Wait for the LORD, and he will deliver you.
Thoughts on this Verse....
Vengeance is an awful and painful way to respond to those whom we feel have wronged us. The LORD is our assurance of just rewards. Leave it to him. Escalating vindictiveness only leads to broken people and to broken lives. Worse yet, it leads to broken character.
Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Thoughts on Today's Verse....
While the road ahead of us may be clouded with questions and concerns, we can look back and see the many ways God has acted in our behalf to get us to the places we need to be. But more than just us, we see his work through history and we can take assurance that his promises are true and his victory in us is assured.
