My Reflections

Jesus Took God's Wrath

prompt
How does it stir your soul to consider God's wrath fell on Christ instead of sinners?

I have written about this very topic.

A Dream of God's Wrath  (E) This is about a dream I had a few weeks ago. #2248289 by Marvelous Friend

How can your soul not be stirred when you consider this if you are truly saved? It is at the very core of every Christian's foundational belief. We love him because he first loved us and sacrificed himself for us. It is a foundational belief in general that if you want to receive love you give love. That's what Jesus did for us because no greater love is there than when a man lays down his life for his friends.

I realized something today. I missed my devotion time yesterday. Every time I thought of doing it, I kept getting distracted. I thought to myself, "I will just read an extra chapter tomorrow." Today was yesterday's tomorrow. Sure enough, I read my extra chapter just like a good little Christian. That's when I realized it.

Reading the Bible isn't about a ritualistic behavior. It's about spending time with God. It is about that relationship and making that relationship more important than anything else. I did make up the chapter that I missed yesterday. However, I cannot make up lost time. Yesterday is gone. I will not have an opportunity to spend time with God yesterday ever again. That time is gone. It is lost forever. I learned a valuable lesson to not take my time with God for granted. It is so precious. I am sad that I missed yesterday's time. I hope I never forget the lesson the Holy Spirit taught me today.
