My thoughts on today’s could literally be wrapped up into 2 statements:

But here is the dilemma: my purification from sin-that work that will not end until every last microbe of sin is eradicated from every single cell of every heart of every believer-is a lifelong process and not a single event.

While that is certainly true this is also true:

Jesus doesn’t send me out with a pack of principles and promises. He doesn’t just guide my travels with a set of rules. No, he does so much more. He comes with me. He knows that I’ll never make it unless he is with me in every moment of every situation, location, and relationship. He is not a rescue squad that leaps into action in my moment of trouble. He’s there with me in trouble because he’s been there with me all along.

Dilemma? He is there. Alone? He is there. Unsure? He is there.

“Father, thank you that you are there-all the time; in every situation; no matter where I am; no matter who I’m with-you are there. What an amazing truth! What an amazing God!”
