MAY 16
We are guilty. The cross purchased our forgiveness. We are unable. The Spirit gives us power. We are foolish. God’s Word provides wisdom. What did I bringto your salvation table?I hadno righteousness to offer,no strength to give,no wisdom to present.There wasnothingthat I could deliverthat would commend meto you.I crawled brokento your table,weighed down and crippledbymy sin,my guilt,my weakness,my foolishness,my pride,my shame.I had no rightto be with you,but you picked me upand placed me there.You fed methe life-giving nutrientsof gracewith yournail-scarred hands.And I haven’t left yourtable of mercy since.For further study and encouragement: Romans 8:18–30Taken from New Morning Mercies: A Daily Gospel Devotional by Paul Tripp, © 2014, pp. 132-162.
