‘Blessed
is the one who always fears the Lord. If you harden your heart, you
will be ruined’ (Proverbs 28:14). Lord, Your blessing comes to us
through the Gospel of Jesus Christ our Saviour: ‘The Gospel is the power
of God for the salvation of everyone who believes’. To those who refuse
to come to Christ and receive His salvation, You speak solemn words
of warning: ‘Because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart,
you are storing up wrath against yourself for the Day of God’s wrath,
when His righteous judgment will be revealed’ (Romans 1:16; Romans 2:5).
You call us to receive ‘salvation’ through faith in Christ, ‘the Lamb
of God who takes away the sin of the world’. May we not be among those
who reject Christ and His salvation, those who must face ‘the wrath of
the Lamb’ (John 1:29; Revelation 7:10; 6:16).
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
