Another Chance

As a follower of Jesus the Messiah, is God in the process of changing you? I'm guessing He is. And as you know, your human soul often wrestles against the changes He wants to bring about.

That's the process of sanctification.

Today I'm relying on the thoughts of Oswald Chambers for this devotion.

Join me.

In our last devotion we meditated on the Book of 1st John, Chapter One, on "Walking in the Light" of God. In this episode we will continue our devotion by looking at other passages which describe an to live in the light.

I hope you will be encouraged and better equipped in your relationship with our Savior.

The New Testament book of First John, chapter 1 tells to "Walk in the light and He is the light."

Jesus our Messiah is the light of the world and He desires that his followers live, progress and mature in the his light.

What does that mean and look like?

This is the subject for today's episode. I pray you will be blessed.

In Matthew 12 and Isaiah 42 we read that Son of God will not break a bruised reed nor snuff out a smoldering wick. What does this mean?

It means that though one may feel broken or without hope there is restoration, in the Savior Jesus.

Hillsong United recorded a wonderfully powerful song entitled, "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail). To me the song represents the moment where Peter steps out of a boat in the middle of a tremendous storm and attempts to walk on the water to Jesus (Matthew 14). Peter fails as his eyes move from Jesus to the turbulent waters around him.

In this episode we will be reminded that in the midst of life's storms Jesus is there to lift us up and restore our faith in Him.

On the eve of his crucifixion Jesus told his disciples, "If you love me keep my commandments." What a tall order!

However, as you'll discover in the episode of the Another Chance Daily Devotion, not only did our Father in Heaven provide us with a Savior, He provides us with a counselor: The Holy Spirit. A counselor that empowers us to keep and love those commands.

What's hidden in the Old Testament is revealed in the New Testament; and that's what we find in this beautiful and inspirational passage from Philippians 2:9-11, "Therefore God has also given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow..."

Let's bow our hearts as we enjoy this Scripture together.

Eternity is what the human heart longs for. However, there is only one way to eternal life: allowing the Lord Jesus to forgive you of all your sins and cleanse you from unrighteousness.

This episode of the Another Chance podcast will refresh, enlighten, and encourage.

Enjoy and be blessed.

The New Testament's Book of James speaks of the rewards for enduring trial by faith in the Lord Jesus. One reward is maturity, the other is "The Crown of Life."

In this episode of the Another Chance Daily Devotion we will meditate on what James is saying and how it is incredibly applicable it is to the times in which we are living.

I'll be back with our daily devotions on July 12th.

In the meantime, please enjoy some of the episodes you have not had a chance to listen to yet.

God bless you!
