Let Me Look that Up

It’s late. The day is far spent. That sounds like a Scripture text.
Let me look that up. 
Well, actually it reads this way:

Romans 13:12  (NKJV) 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.  source

Hmm. What does this say in context? 

11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
13 Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy.
14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. source

Sounds like it was written for us today, Tuesday, December 29, 2020, doesn’t it?

A Considerable Debt

Romans 8

Verse 18.
As I read this verse a couple of days ago, it is still with me.

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.  source 

The question is, do I? Do I consider the sufferings of this present time not worthy to be compared with what shall come?
It’s a fair question and deserves the best answer I can give. I’m working on it — slowly, apparently. 

Then there was verse 34. 

34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.  source 

And to this one, I can only say, “Thank You, Adonai, for making intercession for me daily! Thank You for praying for me AND paying my debt! A debt I could NEVER pay.

A Good Monday Morning to you.  .  .
