Today is Saturday, July 21, 2018. Hi, my name is Adam Burton, and you are listening to The Daily Devo, a short devotional designed to help you apply God's Word to your life. Content comes from The Gospel Project. Take a few moments and read Jude 1, verses 3-25.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, nearly 43,000 flights carry over 2.5 million people over the United States each day. At any given time, there can be up to 5,000 aircraft in the sky. As passengers, most of us aboard these planes assuming we will arrive at our intended destination without giving any thought to the course the flight will take or any other detail, except where our seat is and what kind of snack the flight attendant will serve. However, moving passengers from one location to another requires absolute precision and meticulous planning.
One tiny navigational error can cause a huge problem. If a pilot charts the course a single degree off, instead of arriving in Miami Beach for some time in the sun, passengers could find themselves in the Atlantic Ocean waiting rescue. What are some of the other small decisions or changes that could have a significant impact? When Jude sat down to pen a letter to his friends in the faith, he had intended to write about the salvation they all shared.
However, his plan changed when he learned of false teachers in the church. Jude recognized the danger of these wolves in sheep's clothing in the church's midst and their potential to lead the believers astray. Instead of writing about salvation, he begged the church to fight for the faith, the gospel of Jesus Christ. His letter is short, but powerful.
He calls on the church to hold fast to the foundational tenets of the faith, a message that rings just as true today. If you are in need of prayer, please get in touch with me. I would love to pray for you. You can connect with me on social media or shoot me an email at adam at adamburton.net.
