RISE Daily Reflections: Friday, October 19th, 2018

Friday, October 19, 2018

READ:

At that time: So many people were crowding together that they were trampling one another underfoot. Jesus began to speak, firs to his disciples, “Beware of the leaven—that is, the hypocrisy—of the Pharisees. There is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be proclaimed on the housetops. I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those kill the body, but after that, can do no more. I shall show you whom to fear. Be afraid of the one who after killing has the power to cast into Gehenna; yes, I tell you, be afraid of that one. Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins? Yet not one of them has escaped the notice of God. Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.”

–Luke 12:1-7

REFLECT:

Today Jesus tells us who to fear, Him who can cast us into hell. That is, we should reverence God and only ascribe to Him the power of life and death. And since God is the one in control, we need not be afraid, for He will protect us in all circumstances and enable us to fulfill the purposes he has for our life.

RESPOND:

Today, surrender to the Lord in your heart and ask Him to accomplish great things through you.
