Reflecting on Jesus with the Sinners
Saturday is a day to reflect on all that God spoke to you this week and how it will affect your life going forward.
Here at the Tree Church Daily, we hope that you have had an amazing week spending time with God thinking through one of the most challenging but amazing truths in Scripture, the truth that we are both desperately sinful and yet ferociously loved and pursued by God.
Today, we want you to do something simple, yet incredibly important. We want you to take time to write in a notebook or journal or record a voice memo on your phone answering the prompts below. This does not need to be profound, poetic, or polished. It is a record for you to visit later to see and remember all that God is doing in your life. It is to remind you that God is speaking to you. Speaking something out or writing it down makes it tangible and demands accountability. If God has challenged you or called you to do something specific this past week, making it tangible makes it real. So don’t skip today…today is about faith-building, and that is what we pray happens for you.
Before you get started though, let’s pray together:
Gracious God, thank you for coming to be with sinners. Sometimes, it is hard for us to think about ourselves that way. But as we think about Your posture towards those lost in sin, may it create safety in being honest about the sinfulness of our lives and the hope of being restored to You and set free from sin. All because your Son took on our sin and gave us life and freedom in its stead. As we reflect on everything you have met us in this week, help us to have the ears to hear You clearly today, and the courage to go where You are leading. Amen.
Here are today’s prompts for you to process through in your written or voice journal:
First, focus on God’s promises to you. What is something new God showed you about Himself this week?
Second, focus on your current reality. What is something God has shown you about yourself this week?
Lastly, focus on a step God challenged you in. Did God speak something to you this week that you need to do, if so, what was it, and how/when do you plan to do it?
