MARCH 16

2 Corinthians 5:10- “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.”

Remember to read “My Utmost for His Highest” for Today

FAMILIARITY

Lord, I committed that self- same sin again.

The one I fell into the day before.

It seems to be so easy now.

Familiar sins open more evil doors.

“Dear Child,” the Father calls to me.

“Dear Child, sin is still sin.

Because you have done it frequently

You are increasing Satan’s tendency to win.”

**STOP now. STOP today. CHOOSE to stop once again.**

Every time temptation crosses your life

Satanic plans clutch a deeper hold

Developing intimacy with God in His Word

Ensures victory that will make you bold.

All sin is sin.

The trouble is, the more frequently it is done

The more regularly a trap is set.

But God offers escape through His Son.

When God’s judgement seat is ready.

When the day of reckoning comes.

Will my excuse to my Savior be,

“Because of familiarity, to sin I succumbed”

Lord, set a guard around my heart.

Thank You for Your intercession for me

Someday, I’ll meet You at Your judgement seat

With gold and silver and precious stones for Thee.

POINTS TO PONDER or JOURNAL- The judgement seat of Christ is the place where the joy of ministry will be revealed. If the judgement seat is tomorrow, how might I live for today? What changes should I make immediately? List them.

Dear Lord, thank you for the privileges of service for You. May I have many trophies to lay at your feet when I see you face to face? In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
