Please take today to reflect upon the goodness of what Christ has done for you.

At my sending church in Indianapolis, we had John David Webster do worship and Bill Goodrich gave a short, evangelistic message. He brought home the Roman’s Road:

Romans 3:10 – “…as it is written, ‘There is none righteous, not even one.”
Romans 3:23 – “…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”
Romans 6:23 – “…for the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of god is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 5:8 – “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 10:8-10 – “But what does it say? ‘The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart’ – that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess iwth your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him form the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.”

It’s interesting how we can doubt God so much… but He still comes through for us. A couple of weeks ago, I was sitting in my room at CCBCi, and I was worrying about the trip and many other things. I prayed that God would give me the peace that surpasses all understanding, thanked Him for His goodness, and then continued to dump all my cares upon Him (Philippians 4:6-7). He’s so good… He brought me to the point that I couldn’t really complain anymore. He gave me peace, and that peace was not of my understanding. It surpassed it. God is soooooo good.
