You Are Valuable
Scripture reading: Romans 3:19-29
Worship song: Bring Me Down
It is human tendency to place the rich, the famous, the
hierarchy, and the scholars on pedestals, grouping them in a class above all
others, but as created beings, we all have one thing in common, and that is we
are tainted with sin. The world we live in classifies people according to race,
colour, creed, cultural status, etc., but in reality, we are all equal in God's
sight, created in His likeness and image. Regardless of human differences,
whether you are among the upper-, middle-, or lower-class groups, we are all
sinners in need of a Saviour. No matter our economic, ethnic, or social
affiliation, we stand accused as disobedient and equally guilty sinners before
our Creator. As part of Adam's race, we are all born spiritually dead in sin
and at enmity with God. We are all condemned to die and have fallen short of
the glory of God. Nevertheless, we are all granted the opportunity to break
free from sin and renounce its stronghold and power over us. Wherever or
whichever group you are numbered among, be reminded that the most significant
group that is of uttermost value is the everlasting group, where only the
surrendered saints will dwell in God's presence.
Merciful, wonderful, Saviour, blessed redeemer, and friend, I am grateful, mighty God, that we are all equal beings in thy sight. Everlasting Father, I am grateful that your thoughts and ways are higher than ours and that you don't see things as we do. Almighty One, I give you thanks that you have not classified us in accordance with affiliation, status, and race but see us as sinners in need of a Saviour. Father, I pray that as we rise to the dawning of the day, we will humble ourselves before you, come down off the pedestal, our pumps and pride, and surrender our all on the altar of sacrifice. Father, whatever state or position we find ourselves in, I pray that we will recognize that all we attain in this life is insignificant without you. May we realize, Lord Jesus, that whether we are rich or poor, black or white, we all have to give an account of how we spend the time allotted to us. Help us, Almighty God, to seek you first and foremost and commit to serving you through Jesus Christ. Amen.
Shabbat Shalom 💕🙏
