Focus on God’s Goodness-Rescue Plan
JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Focus on God’s Goodness is found in Romans 7:25.
Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Paul the Apostle wrote these words after sharing about his struggle with the sinful nature.
He said, “In my inner being I delight in God’s law, but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?”
Jesus is the answer to that question. His grace is greater than our sin. His truth guides us forward with God in the path of life and freedom. When we follow Jesus as the Lord of our lives, we are set free from the control of sin and death.
God’s Rescue Plan reveals the goodness of God and is a reason to give thanks in the Year of Gratitude.
