[S] 1 Peter 1:2
–
2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the
sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His
blood: May grace and peace be yours in the fullest measure.
[O] I see a
beautiful harmony of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit in this passage. My heavenly Father who according to His original
master plan continues to pursue after me – who by the way keeps on wandering
away from His plans -- by initially sacrificing His Son so His blood is used as
the covering of my stupidity and then perpetually works in my life through His
Spirit in order to sanctify my life while living in this world. This is the wonderful message of the gospel.
[A] As the
Christmas is nearing not only I should be meditating more on the meaning of Jesus’
coming to this world in order to carry out the above plan, I also need to
manage my mind so I am not sucked into the whirlwind of busy-ness with a ton of
activities during this time of the year.
I will thank my God the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit every day so
that my spirit will not lose focus of the meaning of this season.
[P] Dear
Jesus, Your coming into this world as a meager man just to pave the pathway for
me to return to God is the key for my life’s meaning. May my life display that and overflow into
other people’s lives around me. In Jesus’
name. Amen.
