Today's Devotional: What Does That Cross Dangling From Your Neck Signify?

 

The Meaning of the Cross

Jesus came to earth, lived perfectly, died, and rose again to give us access to God and a home with Him forever.

John 19:17-22

The cross was a tool used by the Roman government to execute criminals. Before Jesus’ resurrection, it was a symbol of damnation and shame. But the moment Jesus rose from His grave, God transformed it into a symbol of hope. Today when we consider the cross, we think about ... 

• Jesus’ perfect life. Our Savior left heaven to dwell on earth and become one of us. While here, He accomplished the work His Father had given Him—and He did so without sinning (John 5:19). Because of His perfect life, Jesus was qualified to be our substitute and bear God’s judgment for our sins. 

• Crucifixion. Jesus went willingly to the cross in order to reconcile us to God. He suffered a painful death, and through His sacrifice, our sin debt has been paid. God’s justice was completely satisfied that day. No further action is required. 

• Resurrection. Three days after Jesus was buried, God raised Him from the dead, and the way to heaven was opened for all who trust in the Son. Our Savior conquered death and made it possible for us to dwell with Him forever. 

The next time you see a cross, let it remind you of Jesus’ great love—and how much He wants to have a relationship with you.

Today's Devotional: The Desires Of Your Heart Aligning with The Will Of God?

 

Aligning Our Desires With God’s

Getting what we want doesn't always bring the happiness we thought it would.

Psalm 145:14-21

Having desires is good—they often set the direction for our life. But unless our objectives match God’s, the longings we have are likely to prove empty and disappointing. (See John 4:7-14.) So how can we be sure our goals align with the Lord’s? 

One way is through reading Scripture, which reveals God’s values. However, many things we yearn for are not specifically addressed in the Bible as “thou shalt” or “thou shalt not.” Thankfully, believers have access to God’s wisdom and discernment through His Holy Spirit, who Jesus promised would counsel us (John 14:26).

Another way to evaluate our desires is through honest prayer. In today’s psalm, David says, “The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him” (vv. 18-19). When we authentically share our heart with God, He will respond with the guidance we need. 

Ultimately, genuine love and respect for God ensures that we’re following His lead. If you don’t have this kind of connection with God, take a moment to ask Him for help.

Today's Devotional: Without The Context, All You Have Is A Con'

 

The Bigger Picture

To avoid error and understand the truth of Scripture, we must read verses in context.

Psalm 37:1-40

When studying a Bible verse, it’s important to consider the surrounding scriptures. Without understanding the context, we might get the wrong idea.

Psalm 37 is a great example. In verse 4, David writes that God “will give you the desires of your heart.” By itself, this phrase makes the Lord sound like a genie. The full verse, however, reveals that our desires are met when we delight ourselves in the Lord. What this means is, when we take pleasure in spending time with the Father—learning what pleases Him and praying for discernment—our heart aligns with His. 

In verse 5 of the same psalm, we’re promised the desires of our heart again when we commit our way to the Lord. Then in verse 7, David writes, “Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him.” The kind of desires David is referring to come from a heart committed to God and His perfect timing. Jesus confirmed this truth when He promised, “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided to you” (Matthew 6:33).

In the broader context, we see that God is not a source of instant gratification, but instead—and even better—He is a wise and loving Father. The full, true picture of Scripture is always the best one.
