Daily D – Galatians 3:26-28

Galatians 3:26-28 For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. (NLT)

Popular television shows and movies like to talk about God and spiritual matters in vague generalities. Depictions of spiritual matters are either dumbed down to the point that anything goes, or religious people are portrayed as overzealous caricatures bent on legalistic righteousness. This is in sharp contrast to biblical faith.

Children of God are those who have a real and loving relationship with Jesus. He is the one and only way. (See John 14:6.)

When people choose to receive his gift of forgiveness for their sins and the promise of eternal life, they put on a new way of living shaped by grace. We become like Jesus. He lives in us and through us. A good question we seek to answer is What Would Jesus Do?

A better question is What would Jesus do if he were me? What if he lived where I live and had my family, my job, and my recreation? How would Jesus navigate the relationships and family matters that I deal with day by day? How would he do my job? How would he conduct himself in leisure activities? What would his vocabulary include and exclude?

What makes Jesus laugh? What grieves his heart?

These are good questions worth considering. The answers go a long way toward teaching us how to live with ourselves and others. They direct, and redirect, the choices we make and the habits of mind and behavior we cultivate.

I will pursue a deeper understanding of what it means to be a child of God.

Our Father, deliver us from the vague generalities and crass caricatures of media religion. Empower us instead with true faith that makes us more like Jesus. Build grace and kindness into our lives. Use us to build up others. Deliver us from belligerence. Amen.

Daily D – Psalm 113:3

Psalm 113:3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the LORD is to be praised.

Daily D – Psalm 112:4-5

Psalm 112:4, 5
Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.
Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,
who conduct their affairs with justice.

Daily D – Isaiah 6:1-7

Isaiah 6:1-7 “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.

And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”

At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.”

Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”

Daily D – Isaiah 1:18

Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the LORD.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.”

Daily D – 2 Kings 25:27-30

2 Kings 25:27-30 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the year Awel-Marduk became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. He did this on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month. He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat of honor higher than those of the other kings who were with him in Babylon. So Jehoiachin put aside his prison clothes and for the rest of his life ate regularly at the king’s table. Day by day the king gave Jehoiachin a regular allowance as long as he lived.
