    The king talked with them; and among them all was found no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore stood they before the king. In every matter of wisdom and understanding concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchante...

    If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances, "Don't handle, nor taste, nor touch" (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men? These things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imp...

Repentance

  • Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn't repent. "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you." Matthew 11:20'22 WEB.

    When John the Baptist came to prepare the way for Jesus, he preached a message of repentance. When Jesus came, He healed the sick, raised the dead, sought out the lost, and preached repentance. Repentance means changing your ways, a change in your heart and mind, a change in your actions. It involves turning away from sin and turning towards God. It's changing our lives to align with God's plan for us. For God isn't on our team. We are on His.

    When Peter began to preach after the Holy Spirit descended on them in the upper room, the people asked what they needed to do: "Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?" Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 2:37'38).

    In the book of Revelation, Jesus said: "As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous, therefore, and repent" (Revelation 3:19). That is what the cross brings, a crossroads in our lives. Jesus said to all: "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me" (Luke 9:23).

    Repentance involves saying: "I am sorry for that." Though it is not a popular subject today, it's the number one way to take a load off your shoulders, make things right with God, and bring a spiritual revival to your life. If you want to see a breakthrough, start with repentance. Simple but difficult because our very nature wants to hide our mistakes, just as Adam and the Pharisees. Jesus told them:

    "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people's bones and all uncleanness" (Matthew 23:27).

    When you mess up, be quick to tell the Lord you are sorry and try to do better next time. Forgiveness is there when we ask for it, but keep a shortlist. By doing so, you completely disable the enemy's plan to use your mistake against you. Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand.

    Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for all You do for me. Please forgive me for the things that I have done and said wrong. Wash me, and I will be clean. Deliver me, and I will be free. Teach me, and I will understand better. I want more of You in my life, Lord. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

    Note: 'Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God.' (Philippians 4:6-7).

An excellent devotion today! I think at one time or another we all have been slow to admit faults and ask for forgiveness. The best thing we can do is, the moment we realize we have sinned or done something wrong, we need to go to God in pray, repent and ask for His forgiveness. We need to be humble and teachable or we will suffer much more than necessary because we refuse to humble ourselves before our Lord and King. Jesus died for us, in our place, a cruel and terrible death. We owe Him our very life and we always have to put God first in our life. In human nature its not natural for us to put others before us or our own desires or needs but this is what we must do and if we are true believerss we will desire to do this. Father God, wash me and I will be clean, show me the error of my ways and teach me your ways. Thank you for always loving me and leading back to you when I stray.
