What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
— Romans 4:3
Thought Of The Day...
In today’s scripture Paul expands on his thoughts about how we can get right with God. Paul brings the Old Testament patriarch Abraham into the picture. He notes that Abraham became okay with God because he trusted God to take care of the process. Abraham knew he couldn’t do that himself. In the words of The Message: “He trusted God to set him right instead of trying to be right on his own.”
When my car breaks down, it can’t fix itself. In order to get fixed, it needs someone who knows all about it.
Someone might give me some tools to try to fix it. I can start pulling things apart under the hood and looking carefully at the pieces, but that won’t go far, because I don’t know enough in order to fix it. What my car needs is someone who can figure out what is wrong and do the right thing to fix the problem. That’s why I go to my expert mechanic. I trust him to set it right rather than trying to set it right on my own.
Similarly, I can’t fix myself. Only God can fix me. He wants me to trust him to fix what is broken in my life. Jesus paid the price, once for all, to fix my brokenness, and God credits me with Jesus’ righteousness. Then he calls me to live for him!
Prayer...
Heavenly Father, you are the Almighty and All-knowing God. You see our hearts and know our struggles. We come before you humbly, acknowledging that we are unable to fix ourselves. Our pride and guilt often make us believe that we can earn your love and approval through our own actions. But we know that it is only through faith in your Son, Jesus Christ, that we are made right with you.
As we read in Romans 4:3, just as Abraham believed in you and it was credited to him as righteousness, we too put our trust in you and your promises. Help us to let go of our pride and surrender to your divine plan for our lives. Remind us that it is not by our own efforts, but through the perfect sacrifice of Jesus on the cross that we receive salvation and forgiveness.
Guide us in our journey of faith, Father. Let us not be consumed by guilt, but instead, surrender it all to you and trust in your perfect love and grace. May we continuously seek you and your will, knowing that you have already set things right for us through Jesus.
We thank you for your unwavering love and faithfulness, and we pray that you will continue to work in Jesus name, Amen.
