DAD'S DAILY BREAD

23 You who boast in the Law, do you [repeatedly] dishonor God by [q]breaking the Law? 24 For, “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written [in Scripture]. ROMANS 2

This scripture is very convicting! All the years that I had been living, to only please myself,  just flood my thoughts. I think about all the different possibilities and different ways my actions made Christ look bad. How long I lived only to please myself not thinking about the carnage I was laying in my path… Reminds me of the passage from earlier…

Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? Ro 2:4

I don’t deserve anything I get from the Lord! Living a life of blasphemy and lies… The more I dive into scripture the more I see just how wretched I am! I AM WITHOUT EXCUSE!!! No longer will I take advantage of God’s grace!! God’s grace is truly unimaginable! Cannot comprehend Him! LORD PLEASE HAVE MERCY ON ME!!

APPLICATION:

What do my wife and kids see when they look at me? Do they see a godly man trying to guide his family in walking with Jesus? Or do they see a selfish person that only wants to please himself?? Lord please have mercy on me. Help me to actually believe by faith that I can actually be forgiven for the things I have done. Sometimes the weight of my past gets hard to let go… if that makes sense… Focus on doing only what I can control and let God handle the rest. Always remember those little eyes are watching me!

6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. Rom 8:6
