God's Pursuit

"Then the eyes of both of them were opened, . . .”

Genesis 3:7

Today's Bible Reading: Genesis 3:1-8.

Genesis 3:7-8 reminds us of the timeless lessons embedded in the story of Adam and Eve. We must acknowledge our sin, resist the urge to hide from God, and recognize His relentless pursuit of us. Like a loving Father, God desires to restore us to a right relationship with Him.

FIRST: The Realisation of Sin (Genesis 3:7a)

TBS: "Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked." This verse captures the moment when Adam and Eve became aware of their disobedience to God's command. It was the moment they realized the consequences of their actions.

SECOND: The Desire for Hiding (Genesis 3:7b)

"They sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings." In their newfound awareness of their sin, Adam and Eve's instinct was to hide from God. They attempted to cover their shame and vulnerability with fig leaves.

THIRD: God's Pursuit of His Children / For the Lost

Genesis 3:8 reveals our third point: "And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden." Despite Adam and Eve's attempt to hide, God did not abandon them. He came to the garden, walking in the cool of the day, seeking to restore the broken relationship.

God pursuits us still today through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer: O'Lord, my God, when I was lost in sin, You pursued, ans saved me. I thank You. In the precious name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.

The Anchor of Hope

"This hope we have as an anchor of the soul,

both sure and steadfast”

Hebrews 6:19

Today's Bible Reading: Hebrews 6:16−20.

To “Hope” is expecting good things to happen. Sometimes, due to the challenges of life, it can be easy not to expect good things to happen

Nevertheless, the Bible speaks of hope in a way that we can and should expect good things to happen. In Hebrews 11:1, the Bible says: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” We who have faith in Jesus Christ can expect good things to happen.

What is this ultimate good that believers in Christ can hope for with confidence?—“the promise of entering His rest” (Hebs 4:1). For believers, God’s rest includes His peace, confidence of salvation, reliance on His strength and assurance of a future heavenly home. The guarantee of God and the salvation the Lord Jesus offers is why hope can be our anchor, holding us fast in times of need (6:18-20). The world needs hope, indeed: God’s true and certain assurance that throughout good and bad times, He will have the final say and will not fail us. When we trust in Him, we know that He will make all things right for us in His time.

Prayer: Dear God, my hope in You is firm and secure, not because my faith is strong, but because You are faithful to do as You have promised. Thank You, In Jesus name. Amen.

The Madness of The Gospel

"We preach Christ crucified . . .”

1 Corinthians 1:23

Today's Bible Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:20-25.

One of the great needs in the church today is for every Christian to become enthusiastic about their faith in Jesus Christ. This is the essence of vital spiritual experience. The apostles had been with Christ, and they could not help but testify to that which they had seen and heard. Every Christian should become an ambassador of Christ with the splendid abandon of Francis of Assisi. Every Christian should be so intoxicated with Christ and so filled with holy fervour that nothing could ever quench his ardour. The Gospel that Paul preached seemed madness to the world of his day (v 18). Let us have this madness! Let us capture some of the magnificent obsession that these early Christians had! Let us go forth as men and women filled with the Spirit of God!

Prayer: Create in me, Father, the abandonment to reach out unreservedly with the message of Your love. In the name of You Son, I ask. Amen.
