For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked shall fall by calamity . . .(Proverbs 24:16)As we approach the end of another year, I am so glad to know my failures do not disqualify me from God's grace. Once He rescues a sinner through Christ's blood, we are forever secure in His arms! We may stumble and fall, yet through grace we rise again and again. The unsaved are not so. Sin encompasses them and they forever doomed, no matter the effort they put forth. Jesus died and rose from the grave once for all sin . . .every sin for every one who accepts His offer of salvation. No sin can keep the redeemed from a relationship with the Savior . . .NO SIN! The only thing keeping one from Christ is to not acknowledge He is King of kings and Lord of lords. Yet it must be done while we yet live upon this earth! Ending 2016 and beginning 2017 is a fresh start for us all, but especially for the lost. Pray for salvation for those whom we know are in need of Jesus. Use this time to restart our engines as well. It is always a good time for a tune-up! And if you are still wandering, choose THIS a day to call upon Jesus to rescue you. No one is promised tomorrow . . .or next year!
"In the Beginning", the daily REMINDER from The Carroll Outreach Mission (formerly The Sparrows' Nest or TSN), is intended to jump start your day with the Lord. The Bible opens up with , "In the beginning, God..." It is our prayer that you will use this tool to begin or "restart" your day with the Lord! Only what we do for Him will last in the end!
