We must never forget that God’s nature is uncompromisingly set against sin.  We may tolerate it; He never.

From Psalm 2:5-6:  “Then He will speak to them in His wrath and terrify them in His fury, saying, ‘I have set My king on Zion, My holy hill.'”

Selwyn Hughes (1928-2006) was a Welsh-born Christian minister and author.  One of his best known works was the daily devotional EVERY DAY WITH JESUS.

Watching a curious child

Witnessing sparkles of joy

Blessing us with innocence

Seeing how life will deploy

 

Finding daily adventure

Lighting up another room

Reaching out with innocence

Moving with a speedy vroom

 

Revealing wonders of life

Surviving each bump and bruise

Shining through with innocence

Napping now, let’s take a snooze

 

Playing through daily lessons

Sharing love with extra zest

Teaching us with innocence

Enjoying life with each quest

The innocence of a child reaches out with honesty.  When we experience it, we are indeed blessed with another lesson from God.

Daily journey, full of needs

Holy God sees every one

With Living Bread, Father feeds

Faith’s light among us, His Son

 

Fueling spiritual needs

Son infusing them and more

Opening each heart, He seeds

Timely mercy, faith cared for

 

Adopted children of God

Trusted steps reach freedom’s place

Trinity, faith’s new tripod

Bestowing glorious grace

 

Forgiving life’s trespasses

Savior’s blood setting man free

Viewing faith through new glasses

From Calvary’s bended knee

 

Trusted insight, wisdom’s light

Destiny’s faith walks ahead

Spirit remains always bright

Leading to Heaven’s homestead
