Today’s Scripture: Romans 2:7 New Living Translation: He will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers.
What is it that God offers to us? Glory, honor and immortality are the rewards for seeking after Him and doing good. We can do good by obeying God’s laws.
Obedience can be difficult when we seek to do it on our own strength. Yet when we seek what God offers we find what is truly good in our hearts. Our desire is not to be right but to have our hearts right with God.
In Romans 2:15 we are assured that God’s law is written on our hearts and that our conscience and thoughts will let us know if we are doing right. We know what is good and we see the eternal rewards of living from the goodness of God in our hearts.
Let us seek God with all of our hearts so all of our hearts will be good. What or who are you seeking?
Today’s Prayer: Father God, thank You for writing Your laws upon my heart. Thank You for Your Holy Spirit that is changing my heart. Please help me to be obedient by continually seeking You with all of my heart. I know in Christ Jesus You will judge my secret places and I ask you to continue to shape my heart to be obedient to Your laws. Your praise is all I seek. Amen
