 Max Lucado Daily: Everyday Blessings 
  • The Choice is Ours

    • “You have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.”  1 Peter 1:23 NIV

    We are free either to love God or not. He invites us to love Him. He urges us to love Him. He came that we might love Him. But, in the end, the choice is yours and mine. To take that choice from each of us, for Him to force us to love Him, would be less than love . . .

    He leaves the choice to us.

  • Overflowing

    • “My cup overflows with blessings.”  Psalm 23:5 NLT

    Is an overflowing cup full? Absolutely. The wine reaches the rim and then tumbles over the edge. The goblet is not large enough to contain the quantity. According to David, our hearts are not large enough to contain the blessings that God wants to give. He pours and pours until they literally flow over the edge and down on the table . . .

    The last thing we need to worry about is not having enough. Our cup overflows with blessings.

  • No Condemnation

    • “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus . . . who walk according to the Spirit.”  Romans 8:1 NKJV

    Does the Word of God say There is limited condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus? No. Does it say There is some condemnation . . .?  No. It says There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Think of it—regardless of our sin, we are not guilty!

  • Jesus the Lord

    • “When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break.”  Luke 5:6 NRSV

    Peter’s arm is yanked into the water. It’s all he can do to hang on until the other guys can help. Within moments the four fishermen and the carpenter are up to their knees in flopping silver.

    Peter lifts his eyes off the catch and onto the face of Christ. In that moment, for the first time, he sees Jesus. Not the Jesus the Fish Finder . . . Not Jesus the Rabbi. Peter sees Jesus the Lord.

  • Forever Saved

    • “God’s strong name is our help.”  Psalm 124:8, The Message

    You have a ticket to heaven no thief can take, an eternal home no divorce can break. Every sin of your life has been cast to the sea. Every mistake you’ve made is nailed to the tree. You’re blood-bought and heaven-made. A child of God—forever saved. So be grateful, joyful—for isn’t it true? What you don’t have is much less than what you do.

  • We Can’t Surprise God

    • “A person is made right with God not by following the law, but by trusting in Jesus Christ.”  Galatians 2:16

    God is not stumped by an evil world. He doesn’t gasp in amazement at the depth of our faith or the depth of our failures. We can’t surprise God with our cruelties. He knows the condition of the world . . . and loves it just the same. For just when we find a place where God would never be (like on a cross), we look again and there he is, in the flesh.

  • Middle C

    • “From everlasting to everlasting you are God.”  Psalm 90:2

    You and I need a middle C. Haven’t you had enough change in your life? Relationships change. Health changes. The weather changes. But the Yahweh who ruled the earth last night is the same Yahweh who rules it today. Same convictions. Same plan. Same mood. Same love. He never changes. You can no more alter God than a pebble can alter the rhythm of the Pacific. Yahweh is our Middle C. A still point in a turning world.

  • He Knows the Answers

    • “You answer us in amazing ways, God our Savior.”  Psalm 65:5

    God never turns his back on those who ask honest questions. He never did in the Old Testament; he never did in the New Testament. So if you are asking honest questions of God, he will not turn away from you . . .

    In learning to depend on God, we must accept that we may not know all the answers, but we know who knows the answers.

  • Amazed at Jesus

    • “When the Lord Jesus comes . . . all the people who have believed will be amazed at Jesus.”

    Amazed at Jesus . . . Paul doesn’t measure the joy of encouraging the apostles or embracing our loved ones. If we will be amazed at these, which we certainly will, he does not say. What he does say is that we will be amazed at Jesus.

    What we have only seen in our thoughts, we will see with our eyes . . . What we’ve seen in a glimpse, we will then see in full view. And . . . we will be amazed.

  • Live the Life

    • “I am a voice calling out in the desert.”  John 1:23

    John was a voice for Christ with more than his voice. His life matched his words. When a person’s ways and words are the same, the fusion is explosive. But when a person says one thing and lives another, the result is destructive. People will know we are Christians, not because we bear the name, but because we live the life.
