Greetings 👋
Join me in meditating on Isaiah 61. What does message mean to you?
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness,The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”
Isaiah 61: 1-4 (NKJV).
Yes and Amen!

Yesterday and today these two passages have been challenging me.

“This is what the Lord says: Cursed is the person who trusts in mankind. He makes human flesh his strength, and his heart turns from the Lord.”
Jeremiah 17:5(NIV)
“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”
— Matthew 7:3-5
My takeaway is simple and uncomfortable: I need to trust Christ more and measure others less.
Where are you tempted to look to people (or yourself) for protection or direction instead of God?
And where do you catch yourself being quicker to spot the speck in someone else than the plank in your own eye?

Here’s an important passage that my friend @patsylevang5 shared this morning. It’s always worth reflecting on the deeper meaning of these words.
“The Narrow and Wide Gates
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”
Matthew 7:13-14 (NIV)
This is a sobering warning. It suggests that the vast majority of people who profess faith may actually be traveling the broad road that leads to destruction. Pray that you and your loved ones are among the few walking the narrow path that leads to life.
