GOD SENT US A SAVIOR

 

If our greatest need had been learning, God would have sent us an educator.

If our greatest need had been food, God would have sent us a farmer.

If our greatest need had been research, God would have sent us a scientist.

If our greatest need had been a vacation, God would have sent us a travel agent.

If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist.

If our greatest need had been work, God would have sent us a recruiter.

If our greatest need had been recreation, God would have sent us an entertainer.

But our greatest need was forgiveness, so God sent us a Savior.

God knows our real needs and satisfies them.

On this SPIRITUAL WORKOUT WEDNESDAY, let’s focus on the Savior sent by God to satisfy our greatest need, ask His forgiveness, and express our gratitude.

Let us face our litany of human fears with the courage found in the power of prayer. Fear of failure. Fear of darkness. Fear of illness. Fear of rejection. Fear of discovery. Fear of speaking up, or out, or publicly. Fear of unemployment. Fear of harm to those I love. Fear of hating those who seek to harm me. Fear of falling, heights, depths, of water, and of fire. Fear of loss, abandonment, engulfment, annihilation. Fear of those who may wish me harm. Fear of death . In this Midweek Spiritual Workou
