Thursday Morning Devotional

The Bible tells us, “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard, ” I know this is true. I, for one, can attest that I fall short daily. Although I begin my day with the right intentions, I often see myself upset or angry with others who may have said something that did not sit well with me. I love the fact that the Bible does not stop with the idea we all fall short. The next verse states, “Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.” Yes, Christ Jesus is my savior, he is your savior, and he loves us so much that he paid the ultimate price to make us right with our heavenly father. Although I am sure I will fall short soon, I am encouraged to have the protection, grace, and Mercy of the all-mighty creator.
