‘Throw Deep' for Christ! Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead‚ I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 3:13-14 The NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Ken Stabler was once being interviewed by Sports Illustrated when the journalist recited a quote from the author‚ Jack London... "I'd rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than ishould be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor‚ every atom of me in magnificent glow‚ than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live‚ not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time!" Asked what these words meant to him personally‚ Stabler replied with the gritty confidence of a veteran‚ "Throw deep." Every single day of your life is a precious gift from God. It's an opportunity for an adventure with Christ – a chance to "throw deep" for the Kingdom. And there's no expiration date on that invitation. Don't settle for mere existence today. Follow in the footsteps of the apostle Paul and press on toward the goal! Prayer Challenge: Ask God to fill you with fresh passion for His Kingdom. And pray for the strength to make each day count for eternity. Questions for Thought: What are some ways you could ‘throw deep' for Christ? Think of needs in your church‚ your family‚ or your community that you could meet.

A Prayer of Praise for the Righteousness of Jesus This Holy MondayBy Emma Danzey "And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple‚ and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. He said to them‚ ‘It is written‚ ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer‚' but you make it a den of robbers'" – Matthew 21:12-13 We know a lot about Palm Sunday and Good Friday‚ but what is Holy Monday? Heather Adams from Bible Study Tools shares that on Holy Monday‚ Jesus went back into Jerusalem and cursed a fruitless fig tree‚ wept over the city‚ and cleansed the temple. Ponder this‚ the King of the World comes in riding on a donkey in humility on Sunday. Then‚ our great High Priest enters the temple the next day and turns over the tables. Holy Monday reminds us of the worthiness of our Savior. He was faultless‚ and people had taken His house of worship and made it about selfish gain. In thinking about all of the legalism and hypocrisy the Pharisees had been partaking in‚ it grieved Jesus. His people were supposed to love Him‚ but He was instead ignored as Messiah and would be chosen over a murderous criminal to take the cross a few days later. There is a clear verse in Ephesians 4:26 that says‚ "Be angry and do not sin. Don't let the sun go down on your anger." Jesus was angry‚ but his actions were not sinful. It is hard to believe because we often like to take the love and compassion of Christ while ignoring His holiness and sovereignty. Ponder this‚ He has gone into the place that was supposed to be His home‚ where God resided in the Holy of Holies‚ and the people were making a business out of His home. They were taking advantage of God for personal gain. They made it a place of robbery. They took away the attention and purpose on the Lord‚ and they prevented the people from connecting with Him and placed a barrier in the way.  We see this in the time when Moses brought the Ten Commandments down the mountain‚ and the Israelites had crafted the golden calf to worship as an idol. Moses broke the commandments and went back up the mountain a second time. As we pray about the righteousness of Jesus‚ we can thank Him for His holiness and his gift of forgiveness to those who believe in Him. We‚ too‚ have made His house about selfish gain. We have sinned against Him‚ and we deserve His wrath eternally. However‚ by grace‚ we have been saved through faith. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Let’s pray: Dear Jesus‚We praise You for Your righteousness this Holy Monday. We could not be obedient to the law. We failed miserably. We could not even keep one command. However‚ You came‚ and in your faithfulness to Your Word and to us‚ You gave us new life and hope. As we reflect on Your anger that was perfect and righteous‚ help us to take our sin seriously. Enable us to be intentional to think about the ways that we have sinned against you by sins of omission and sins of commission.  We have not followed You. We have turned to our own fleshly ways. We have committed spiritual adultery against You as our Groom. Please forgive us. Please help us not to stay there. Give us the conviction by Your Spirit‚ the foundation of Your Word‚ and the support of community to propel us into lives that fully honor You. Help us to look more like You‚ Jesus. Thank You for turning the tables that day. For giving us an eternal reminder that You flip our legalism and our deceptions on the ground and everything is leveled by the cross. All have sinned and fall short of Your glory. All deserve death and hell. But You came in Your holiness‚ and Your righteousness became our own. Thank You for Your great mercy on us. Thank You for being righteous for us and then placing it upon all who believe in Your name. Amen.

March 25‚ 2024 Gatekeeping the Love of JesusSTACY J. LOWE Lee en español "The leading priests and the teachers of religious law saw these wonderful miracles and heard even the children in the Temple shouting‚ ‘Praise God for the Son of David.' But the leaders were indignant." Matthew 21:15 (NLT) Editor's Note: Today's devotion is part of a special series for Holy Week! From March 24 (Palm Sunday) to March 31 (Easter Sunday)‚ each devotion will focus on the events leading up to Jesus' resurrection. We pray these words will prepare your heart and mind for the celebration of our risen Savior. Just one day prior‚ Jesus had entered the city of Jerusalem on a donkey's back and had been received with much acclaim. But not by everyone. The chief priests and Pharisees had no desire to welcome Jesus. They wanted Him dead. Why? Among other things‚ Jesus claimed to be "the way‚ the truth‚ and the life" (John 14:6a‚ NLT). The only path to God. The religious leaders believed this to be blasphemous because the only path to God they knew was through keeping the Law. Jesus' very existence threatened their authority and all the religious rules they loved to lord over other people. Then we come to this day of Holy Week. Jesus arrived at the temple and saw the outer courts filled with merchants selling sacrificial animals at prices only the wealthy could afford. Even worse‚ because the outer courts were the only spaces where gentiles (non-Jews) were allowed to enter and pray‚ all such opportunities for them to worship God were gone. In His righteous anger‚ Jesus overturned the tables and drove the merchants out‚ declaring‚ "My Temple will be called a house of prayer" (Matthew 21:13‚ NLT). Then we read: "The blind and the lame came to him in the Temple‚ and he healed them. The leading priests and the teachers of religious law saw these wonderful miracles and heard even the children in the Temple shouting‚ ‘Praise God for the Son of David.' But the leaders were indignant" (Matthew 21:14-15‚ NLT). This moment in the temple was a visible representation of everything Jesus had come to do - tear down every barrier that exists between us and God so that anyone could approach Him. But even seeing the healing miracles Jesus performed‚ the leaders still didn't get it. Rather than bending to the authority of Jesus‚ they chose to continue in their way. They were gatekeeping the sacred for purposes of their profit and benefit. It's here I pause and reflect: Have I been guilty of gatekeeping Jesus? Deciding (whether consciously or not) who is worthy of His love? While I've never been accused of sacrifice price gouging‚ I wonder how many people I've written off as being "too far gone" for God to save them. How often have I looked the other way instead of acting with compassion? How many opportunities have I missed to remind someone they're loved by the God of the universe? How many times have my words or actions unintentionally reconstructed the very barriers Jesus came to demolish? How many times have yours? How many times have we decided we're not enough and discounted God's love for us? May this day of Holy Week remind us the love of God is for everyone. No gatekeeping required. Father‚ thank You that Jesus came to tear down every barrier between You and us. May I never act in ways that prevent others from finding You and experiencing Your love for them. In Jesus' Name‚ Amen. OUR FAVORITE THINGS Jesus says‚ "Come to me‚ all you who are weary and burdened‚ and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28‚ NIV). Just as the love of God is for everyone‚ Jesus' rest is offered to all of us. Quiet your anxious thoughts and embrace true rest before bedtime with our newest devotional book‚ Clear Mind‚ Peaceful Heart: 50 Devotions for Sleeping Well in a World Full of Worry. With encouraging devotions‚ Scripture verses and guided prayers‚ this resource will help you fall asleep in peace. ENGAGE For more from Stacy J. Lowe‚ you can connect with her over on Instagram. FOR DEEPER STUDY Luke 19:10‚ "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost" (ESV). Romans 2:4‚ "Don't you see how wonderfully kind‚ tolerant‚ and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can't you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?" (NLT). In Scripture‚ we're repeatedly reminded that Jesus came to save the lost. But He doesn't change us by ruling with an iron fist; His kindness and love bring us to a place of repentance. As you encounter people who are far from God‚ instead of turning away‚ choose to act as Jesus would‚ and allow His love to flow through you. It may be just the moment they never knew they were waiting on. How can you show God's love and kindness to those who are far from Him? We'd love for you to share your ideas in the comments. © 2024 by Stacy J. Lowe. All rights reserved. Proverbs 31 MinistriesP.O.
