Your Cross

“He has put a new song in my mouth— Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the Lord.” (Psalm 40:3, NKJV) These verses highlight the themes of trust, , and faithfulness in God throughout the Old Testament. But make no mistake, it takes from you a repentant heart. What is that? Well, it is simple. Die to any idea of coming to God for you to keep or gain. Come to God with the same humility as Mary, and let Christ be formed in you. As ruler of your heart, He is as ready to transform the world through blood as Then. Not the shedding of another’s blood but the shedding of His blood now coursing through His life in your veins. “But Jesus said to him, ‘Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.’” (Matthew 26:52, NKJV)
