<b><u>Reference Passage:</u> … 1Peter 2:9 [NLT] … USE THIS LINK …</b> 

… Peter teaches truth to God’s faith - and chosen - people being oppressed by the world that it’s God’s grace - through faith in Christ - which saves His chosen people.  

My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Adam R Holz …  USE THIS LINK        uses a quote from Napoleon Hill’s book in 1937, Think And Grow Rich, when he wrote  “Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”  And that book creates the premise that if one simply works hard to achieve any human desire, that it will come to pass, … which, of course, is contrary to all the Biblical truths shared above.

And if my readers have read and meditated on those truths and heard the linked song, I pray we all agree with and share the truth that is our faith in Christ as Lord is the truth which provides ALL born-again Christians with salvation and God’s enabling grace, which, in turn, provides them (us) with ALL we need in life.   I, for one, believe that my faith in Christ’s death on the cross and His resurrection allow me access to God’s saving and sanctifying grace.   How about you?

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You … for allow me access to Your saving and sanctifying grace through my faith in Your finished work on the cross.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, … for providing ALL who have faith in Your finished work on the cross with Your saving grace. … Amen
