GOD’S WORD
“I wait [patiently) for the LORD, my soul [expectantly/ waits, And in His word do I hope.” -Psalm 130:5 (AMP)
The early saints lived trusting in YHWH’s word till the end. For example, Abraham and Sarah waited for the covenant son, Israel for deliverance from Egypt, Mary for giving birth to the savior, etc. Remember, the Creator’s throne and integrity back His word. May we see, taste, and experience everything God has said concerning us in Jesus’ name!
BESIDES BOASTNG
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” -Ephesians 2:8,9.
There is room for taking credit for some achievements. For example, it is OK to savor the accomplishment in an exam after studying hard or feeling good about oneself after making gains through being business savvy. Notwithstanding, it is almost blasphemous to claim any contribution towards our salvation. Remember, Christ did everything; all we needed to do was to accept the finished work by faith.
