Daniel Robison's Input on Today's Devotion
In 2019 we held a Men's Rally in Youngstown, Ohio. One of the speakers there was Michael Vick. Michael was known for his talent as a quarterback in the NFL but more known for his illegal dog fighting ring that he ran. If you listen to Michael's story you realize that he had that moment where he turned to God and turned all of his sins over to God and accepted Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior. He has now done more for the animal community than most of us have and has truly repented and turned from his evil ways.
What Michael did was horrible, he'll admit it. But salvation is not just for the good people (and as Jesus said, there is no one good except God himself). There are so many people that are not willing to forgive Michael for the sins that he committed. I'm sure he's glad that he doesn't need their approval. Only God knows the heart and after hearing his testimony I am convinced that the Lord has wiped away all of his sins and cleansed his soul. Michael is now a child of God.
God took another murder and used him to write much of the New Testament. We know him as Paul but you read his story in the book of Acts where he started out Saul of Tarsus. If God can take a murder of Christians and use him to write his word and a dog killer and turn him to an animal activist and a great witness there is hope for us all. No matter what you have done God can clean the slate and welcome you in to his family. I hope if you are struggling today that you ask Jesus in to your life and turn all your sins over to him.
