Lord Jesus, my devotions bring me to this challenging verse that makes me ponder my position of faith. You submitted to baptism though you were sinless. I submitted to baptism as a public statement of my faith. You shed your blood on the cross though you were sinless. You died for the sin in me….
Today is a beautiful day, because “He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly, who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes his hands, lest they hold a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed and shuts his eyes from looking on evil, he will dwell on the heights; his place of defense will…
