Daily Devo 10/29/19

Today is Tuesday, October 29, 2019 and here is your Daily Devo. The first word of Jesus’ first sermon was “Repent” (Matt. 4:17), and His last words before He ascended into heaven were about repentance (Luke 24:47). Jesus’ followers took note, and they all went out and preached that people should repent” (Mark 6:12; Acts 2:38). Repentance is key for not only a response to the gospel, but for godly living. Many of us try to attack evil, idolatry, and sin in our lives with the brute force of human willpower, but these attempts will leave us disappointed and tired. We are too weak to effect lasting change in ourselves. Whether it is pride lurking in our hearts or letting our temper loose, the only way to tear down the idols of our hearts is through true repentance.  Think about this: How would you define repentance? Where else is repentance talked about, and why does the Bible give it so much attention? Why is daily faith and repentance a better strategy to fight ongoing sin than sheer willpower?  Thank you for listening to the Daily Devo. Please send me a comment, like, or share the Daily Devo.
