Lent Devotion for April 8

Lent Devotion for April 8

Reflecting on Romans 11:25-36

We have all been given the freedom to choose whether or not we will follow Jesus.  Equally so, we decide whether to follow the scriptures within the Holy Word and their applications to our daily life.  No matter what we choose, God sent his beloved son, Jesus, to this world to forgive us of our sins and change our ways as a gracious and loving God.
As human beings, it’s our nature to want to pursue our own desires. That impedes what is planned for our lives because we don’t know what is best.  We forget that our wisdom and understanding does not go to the same depth of that of the Lord. Yet when we turn our lives over to him, he will guide us in all of our ways.
The beauty of having a gracious and loving father is that God unfailingly bestows upon all individuals His promise to be there for them and offers his gifts to them for when that time comes. For God bestows the bounty upon those who place him first in all their ways.
May all honor and glory be given to God for through him all things are made.
