Daily Devotional - December 29
"O foolish
Galatians! Who has bewitched you
that
you should not obey the truth,
before
whose eyes Jesus Christ
was clearly portrayed among you as
crucified?"
Galatians 3:1
Who
has bewitched you?
While the context of this passage is
speaking of those trying to be justified by works of the law, we also
might ask so many others "who has bewitched you?" People
who once were on fire for the Lord, but have lost that initial
passion.
You started out well. You received the Lord with all
of your heart. But as time went on, the influences of the world, the
culture, and work, and tv and movies and being with unsaved people -
have taken a toll on your faith. Your fire has become a smoldering
wick.
"Nevertheless I have this against you,
that
you have left your first love.
Remember
therefore from where you have fallen;
repent
and do the first works,
or else I
will come to you quickly
and remove
your lampstand from its place"
Return
to the Lord you once loved so much – and he will receive you. He’s
not an angry parent ready to scold you – on the contrary, he’s
full of mercy and will receive you into his arms. The father of the
prodigal ran to his son and hugged him. He will do the same for you.
Come home.
