Romans 2:11 NIV & NLT “For God does not show favoritism.”
Romans 2:11 NKJV “For there is no partiality with God.”
Partiality~Unfair bias in favor of one thing or person compared with another; favoritism. (New Oxford American Dictionary)
I begin in a direction that has valuable merit but it not the key to today’s message. However, I am relieved that I am not pitted against the Billy Grahams of our world. I am not pitted against anyone but myself and my follies. Again, not the point today! Tho still good to grasp and carry!
Scripture tells us that God shows no favoritism. However, we serve such a personal God that I feel favored all the time…yes, I know we walk in grace and favor! Hallelujah!!! But I mean a God so personal that you know his gentle touches, silent leadings, little surprise blessings here and there, that you know he set there just for your delight. The prayer he answered in such mighty magnitude that you know he must have an extra special twinkle just for you!
He does, God has a special twinkle that is just our own, but that’s because of our sparkle within him, but he doesn’t love me more than the drug addict or dealer, he doesn’t forgive my sins quicker than the murderer; he doesn’t bless me more than my brother because I sit in church and he doesn’t. God loves us all the same and wants all of us to know him.
Now, with that said, the Lord does greatly bless those who serve, tithe, honor, fear, devote, promote and love. He reveres those who revere him and shows his mighty love, protection, provision, and blessings abound!
I make a conscious decision every day to try and be the best I can be, somedays I miss the mark entirely, but tomorrow is a new day and a fresh start.
Lamentations 3:22-23 ESV “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
It’s up to us, do we walk on the right side of the street, keeping our garbage picked up, avoiding the potholes we’ve already stumbled in, learning, growing, and striving to be better each day!
Are you reading the Lord’s word, applying his tried and true ways into your life? If you are here, you are reading the Lord’s word; you will be learning his ways and the right side of the street, so you too can walk feeling deep down God loves you just a little bit more. ☺️
Thank you for joining me and I pray blessings upon your life and joy and peace in your heart. Have a great day!!! 🥰
