Romans 5:1, 2 
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We have also obtained access through him by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God. (CSB)

By entering through faith into what God has always wanted to do for us—set us right with him, make us fit for him—we have it all together with God because of our Master Jesus. And that’s not all: We throw open our doors to God and discover at the same moment that he has already thrown open his door to us. We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand—out in the wide open spaces of God’s grace and glory, standing tall and shouting our praise. (MSG)

Two sentences packed with powerful words of truth and life are a little overwhelming for a Monday morning. The richness runneth over. These truths are more than our cups can contain. Even so, let’s luxuriate here for a moment. 

What Jesus did for us in his perfect life, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension provides us with a clean slate before God, peace with God, access to God into a life restored and restoried by his grace, and the confidence that every day on earth is shaped by glory, and every moment beyond this life is filled only and always with glory. 

Chew on that.

God did for us through Jesus more than we would have chosen to do for ourselves. The riches of his kindness and mercy overflow even our greatest expectations. That’ll cure Monday morning malaise. 

Justification, peace, grace, hope, and glory are available to us in greater measure than we imagine. Stand tall. Shout your praise. Turn Moaning Monday into an Applauding Alternative. 

I will praise God for all he has done for me.

Our Father, you have done for us what we cannot do for ourselves. You have made it possible for us to be set right with you. You remove our fear of you and replace it with your peace. You give us grace for everything we face. You assure us with hope which leads us into confidence for whatever you ask. Your glory surrounds us and shines through us as we express your purpose for us. How could we not sing your praise? Thank you for these truths. Amen.

Daily D – Leviticus 20:25-26

Leviticus 20:25, 26 “You must therefore make a distinction between ceremonially clean and unclean animals, and between clean and unclean birds. You must not defile yourselves by eating any unclean animal or bird or creature that scurries along the ground. I have identified them as being unclean for you. You must be holy because I, the Lord, am holy. I have set you apart from all other people to be my very own.”

Daily D – Leviticus 18:1-5

Leviticus 18:1-5 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. I am the LORD your God. So do not act like the people in Egypt, where you used to live, or like the people of Canaan, where I am taking you. You must not imitate their way of life. You must obey all my regulations and be careful to obey my decrees, for I am the LORD your God. If you obey my decrees and my regulations, you will find life through them. I am the LORD.”

Daily D – John 15:4

John 15:4 “Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.”

Daily D – Leviticus 8:22-24

Leviticus 8:22-24 Then Moses presented the other ram, which was the ram of ordination. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the ram’s head, and Moses slaughtered it. Then Moses took some of its blood and applied it to the lobe of Aaron’s right ear, the thumb of his right hand, and the big toe of his right foot. Next Moses presented Aaron’s sons and applied some of the blood to the lobes of their right ears, the thumbs of their right hands, and the big toes of their right feet. He then splattered the rest of the blood against all sides of the altar.

Daily D – Psalm 40:1-3

Psalm 40:1-3
I waited patiently for the Lord to help me,
and he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the pit of despair,
out of the mud and the mire.
He set my feet on solid ground
and steadied me as I walked along.
He has given me a new song to sing,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see what he has done and be amazed.
They will put their trust in the Lord.
