Without God in the World

Psa 49_20

I borrowed the above title from today’s devotional from Truth For Life. In that devotional, Alistair Begg tells us:

“It is tempting to think that passages like this one only describe other people. But we should not be too quick to look away from ourselves. Are there ways we have rejected humility, believing ourselves to be sufficient without God? Have we let our prosperity numb us to our neediness and accountability before God? Has our treatment of those around us been marked by self-interest and arrogance instead of love and service? We may confess to have faith in God, but perhaps there are areas of our lives that require repentance.”

He then asks us to consider the following:

1. How is God calling me to think differently?

2. How is God reordering my heart’s affections — what I love?

3. What is God calling me to do as I go about my day today?

Be Blessed This Day!

  1. Hi Dan. I listen to Alistair Begg all of the time and I usually try to catch Parkside’s Sunday morning service. Thanks for sharing…

    God’s blessings…
