The natural law is that we reap from we sow. If you sow apple seeds you will reap apples, not olives. Jesus said, “You will know them by their fruit.” What kind of fruit do we produce? We are sinners, our lives produce the fruit of sin and the wage for that is death. What kind of fruit does God, in Christ, produce? He is righteous. His seed, the work of the cross, sown into our lives, produces faith and receives his righteousness and forgiveness. Our commendation is not ourselves but Christ alone and what he has done for us. Mim is traveling in Utah and Idaho. She shares the “Daily Texts” with her hosts, Ryan and Anique. Jeff is in Utah but is dialoguing with an old friend from his past, as he quotes T.S. Eliot’s “Choruses from ‘The Rock’, 1934.” Enjoy!
The LORD rewards everyone for his righteousness and his faithfulness.
1 Samuel 26:23
Do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then each one will receive commendation from God.
1 Corinthians 4:5
Light of the world, I give thanks that you illumine dark and hidden places. I don't want to live in the darkness of judgment. I want to live in your light where righteousness and faithfulness prevail. Help me shine for Jesus and light the way of forgiveness for others living in darkness, leading them to a relationship with Jesus. Amen.
