Jesus is THE Son of God.
This week I have been so overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with life but also overwhelmed with the grace and love of Jesus.
God sent down THE Son of God to serve us, to save us.
I will start off with Daniel.
He sees this human being walk up to God. Not only that, but this human being is given dominion, glory and a kingdom. An everlasting dominion. That "will not be destroyed," Daniel says this so confidently. This is so encouraging to me. Jesus' dominion is strong and everlasting and its becasue of this that we serve Him, and its because of this that he can save us.
I also wanted to mention here that I love what someone said about this passage, that the beast are things we can't handle in life that God has dominion over. "One of the beasts is slain, the rest lose their dominion." This picture just gave me hope that even when life is crazy and I am so broken that God has such a stronghold on my life. I am not supposed to conquer things on my own.
Okay second, "For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it." For the first time, this part of this passage stuck out to me. I don't know why I never noticed it before. I don't know about you guys but I am such a scatterbrain sometimes and especially in this last week I feel like I have been losing my mind! I have been misplacing things everywhere and forgetting things and yeah its been no bueno. Anyways, if we lose our life for Jesus we will find it. I think about the times that I have been completely sold out for God and how fulfilled I felt and then I think about the times that I am straying away and how much I struggle. God doesn't call us to be perfect servants, he doesn't call us to be perfect drivers or trainees, he just calls us to lose our lives and serve him. I still feel like I am learning this everyday.
I have so much love for all of you and your encouraging words on these devos!!
Praying for all of you!
