Scripture Reference: Acts 10:15
“The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”
Application:
I must admit at first I was kind of having a hard time really getting anything from today’s reading, but when I read over this verse I went back and re-read it a couple times and really felt the Lord speak to my heart about my life. Pastor Ben talked about humility last night at youth group and how many view it as saying “I am not worthy of God’s love or Grace” but that isn’t the correct definition of the humility God wants us to have. I think this scripture is very applicable to the concept of humility; we are worthy of God’s love and grace and mercy only because he has made us clean. We need to accept his love and all it entails and not claim that we are unclean or not worthy. This can apply to how we view other people’s lives as well, only God can pass judgment and when we see something that may seem “unclean” the Lord may know differently and have his hand on that person’s life. I hope this all makes sense, if not feel free to text Pastor Ben for verification : )
Prayer:
Lord I pray that I may know the true meaning of humility, and that I can be humble when receiving your gifts and blessings. Thank you for all that you do for me, I know that I would be nothing without a relationship with you. Fill me up with your love so that I can speak your name and show your love to people around me. This I pray in Jesus name Amen.
