TAKING IT HOME

READ Acts 17:28, Romans 11:36, Heidelberg Catechism Q&A#1.  Christians are to find their belonging nature completely in God and within His care.  How can we be confident that we’re doing that?

PERSONAL REFLECTION

READ Psalm 90:16-17.  Our lives are all about God’s work and contributions, and not ours.  It’s His work, His glory, and His favour to be upon us, and manifested in and through us.  Meaning, the only work that lasts and has any value, is that which God establishes, ordains, and sustains in us.  But yet, every fiber of our human condition says, “but what about me?” Why is this? What can we do to reorient ourselves back to the Lord’s desires?
