January 15
This is a night that stretches me to the breaking
point. I am nodding off when I read:
"Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks
understanding; He who does so destroys his own soul." (Proverbs 6:32)
Wham! I lost my soul long ago. I'm doomed.
I read Luke 7. Jesus is eating at a Pharisee's house and an
adulterous woman, washes His feet and dries them with her hair. The Pharisee is
indignant. Jesus exposes his hypocrisy. Then he says to the woman "Your
sins are forgiven."
In one reading I am convicted of the devastating severity of
my sins against God. In the next reading I experience the wonders of His
amazing grace
"For by grace you have been saved through faith and
that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should
boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
