Devotional Reflection

GratitudeHopeFear

God has said that there will be a final time, a reckoning, when no amount of power or influence can change the truth, and everyone will have to face what they have done. Those who have worked with evil will be hurt by it. Those who hate good, righteous people will be judged for their hatred. God's truth, righteousness, and justice will not be cut short.

Prayer

Father, thank you for the way your Holy Spirit makes us clean and whole. Show me how to be good. Help me turn away from what is wrong and sinful. Use me to help someone who is doing the devil's work to get out of it. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
