TODAY’S PROPHETIC THOUGHT
Where there is Truth, there can be conflict. Learn to welcome conflict as an opportunity to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to Earth, in love. Remember, truth without love only creates chaos and cruelty, neither of which are in the Kingdom.
OPEN BOOKS
If you learn that God in Genesis is the Creator, the covenant maker, and the promise keeper, you can learn who He is in the book of Exodus: the Deliverer, Passover Lamb and the Redeemer.
There’s this progression that goes from book to book to book. We find out more about Him with every book. His goodness builds! I think it is so cool that the Bible is no longer being written in book form. The Bible is now being written in people form.
The Bible calls you a living epistle. You are a walking Bible. A Bible with legs. It’s amazing the Word of God is no longer being written on tablets of stone, but on the fleshly tablets of men’s hearts.
You see, there is a way you reveal God that I don’t. There is a way you know God that I don’t. There is a way I can learn Jesus by being in a relationship with you that I can’t learn about Jesus without knowing you.
The Bible says in the book of Revelation that we’ll all stand before the throne and the books will be opened – you and I will be opened. Every good thing that God has written in your heart will be displayed and we will all get to look at it. Of course, He will get all the glory for it because He deserves it. Every good thing in us comes from Him and being made in His image.
That’s going to be an incredible WOW!
So the question is, what’s written on your heart? Do you know Him as the Deliverer, Passover Lamb and the Redeemer? If you do, tell someone about Him and add a chapter to your epic story.
You yourselves are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by everyone, being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of human hearts. – 2 Corinthians 3:2-3
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO BE AN OPEN BOOK WHERE JESUS IS CONCERNED. LIVE LIKE YOU’RE REDEEMED SO THAT OTHERS CAN READ YOUR JOY AND FIND FREEDOM THROUGH REDEMPTION!
