“Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone” (1 Peter 2:7)
We live in a time where everyone is supposed to be included. Anyone who dares to say there are differences in people are cursed. The Lord says there are two kinds of people. There are those who will come into His love and those who will not. Our faith is built upon Jesus. If it is built upon anything else, it will fail. Do not be deceived and do not depend upon yourself.
Lord, You have created everything, and You know how it works. Too many, and that sometimes (often?) includes me, we look the other way and think ourselves able to do what needs to be done. But that idea is blown apart with the simple title which is yours: Savior. We need to be saved and You are the Savior. Lead me, Lord, in the salvation You have prepared from the foundation of the earth.
Lord Jesus, You came to this earth and gave Your life as a ransom that we who build our lives upon You might be with You forever. Guide me, dear Lord, so that I may live into this life You give by grace. In Your mercy, help me to learn how to rely upon You more and more so that I may become more like You each day. Lead me according to the Father’s will in order that I may rejoice in Your salvation. Amen.
