How we mess up!
Dear Friends,
Are you sinless yet? Alas, neither am I. How do we mess up? Where do we go astray? How can we avoid failure? Today’s devotional will give you a number of cues. God bless you.
Because of Calvary,
John Janney
Matthew 6:33 (ESV)
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
“All Christians should seek to honor God, and please God, and enjoy God. But we prefer our own ease, quiet, profit, before the glory of God, and our present good before our future; and, to get the world, lose ourselves, sell the soul, break our peace, part with better things for these things’ sake, sell our birthright for a mess of pottage, dig for iron with mattocks of gold and silver, and so grossly seek after great things for ourselves.” [The Complete Works of Thomas Manton XXI, (London: James Nisbet & Co., 1871), p. 484-485]
