The Thought For Today

Encouraging You Through God's Word

     In this day and age, people exalt everything over Jesus. Whether it is your skin color, gender, job and income status, and the like. However, as Christians, our chief identity is that of Christ! So today, you and I must “Make Much of Jesus”.

     How can we “Make Much of Jesus”? by living out Psalm 1 verses 1-3. When we look at verse 1, it says, “Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.” In order for us to “Make Much of Jesus”, you and I cannot co-sign on sin. This simply means whatever God’s Word says is what you say. Then verse 2 says, “But they delight in the law of the LORD, meditating on it day and night.” As followers of Jesus, we must read His Word day and night. When we engulf ourselves with TRUTH, we will have the ability to “Make Much of Jesus”. Lastly, when we “Make Much of Jesus” verse 3 reminds us that, “They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.”

     In order for us to “Make Much of Jesus”, you and I must be sold out to His way, His word, and His truth.
