Reading God’s Word: Titus 3:9-Philemon 25; Proverbs 10:1-16

Memorizing God’s Word: Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Meditating on God’s Word: Proverbs 10:16 “The wages of the righteous is life, but the earnings of the wicked are sin and death.”

Praying God’s Word “Lord, was Paul meditating on this proverb when he wrote in Romans 6:23 ‘For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord’?  The wages I deserve are sin and death, but because of the righteousness of Jesus I receive, as a gracious gift, life and right standing with God!  Wow!  Jesus, the Righteous One, paid the cost for me to have true life and a righteousness I could never attain, yet it is freely given.  Fill me with awe and wonder at your generous and abundant love Father. As a result, may this life you have given me be marked by a graciousness that gives love, forgiveness and mercy to all who meet me for your glory alone, Amen.”
