Your Identity in Christ

• In Christ all things that I need will be given to me as I seek God and his righteousness first.

I suppose at some point a question should be asked: Do you believe that, if you seek (first) God and His righteousness, He will provide all that you need to thrive?

Do you believe that He will provide you with an abundant life as promised?

If so, then how do you put yourself in a position to experience this?

Rather than simply stop here and turn to whatever you were going to do next, take time to ponder with the Lord what it would take for your soul – for you – to thrive spiritually and then by extension for the rest of you to thrive as well: physically, emotionally, psychologically and relationally.

Prayer Prompt

Father God, I want to thrive. I am not sure that You and I have the same version of thriving in mind. But I desire to align my idea of thriving with Yours that I might find what You intend for my soul and by extension every other part of me that I might experience an abundance of life under Your grace and mercy and Holy Spirit’s leadership. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

Teaching or Command of God

Matthew 26:27-28

Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins”. 

1 John 1:7

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

Pondering Point

Blot out my transgressions. To blot out means to smear out or obliterate, such as off a list or from one’s memory. God keeping no record of your sins. Are you keeping a record of sins – yours or others? Let them go.
