DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, JULY 12, 2013
EMBRACING THE TENDERHEART
And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. Hebrews 11:32-38
The blessed life of faith is truly a gift from God, given to the new man/woman who decides to live with love and tenderness of heart. The world does not fit this man and this woman of God. For this man and this woman of God has a life from above--heavenly--moved by the Spirit.
Today, let us embrace the tenderhearted life of Love and faith in Christ Jesus.
