Matthew 5:7-9

I would like to share a thought with you that is fundamental to our lives. It’s from Psalm 1: “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.” This verse teaches us about the Christian life, about what it shouldn’t be. But what should it be?

Have you ever felt alone and persecuted? Perhaps had a hidden secret exposed to the light of day? The theme for these guided meditations is disclosure. To find freedom and the mercy of God through the companionship of others. To not live life alone, but celebrate the freedom found in Christ and seeing others as Christ sees you. Finding companionship by showing mercy to the least of those around us.

Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this powerful devotional. Choose to show and sow compassion towards others freely. Choose to forgive freely. Choose to sow mercy towards others in every area of your life. Choose to let your heart reflect the Mercy and Compassion of God. Let your heart be full of His Love. Let your heart be full of His Mercy. Don’t let your heart grow bitter. Forgive freely.

Stories are how we make sense of the world. They’re also how we make sense of our work. In this plan, I’ll show how Scripture refutes the two most common stories our world tells about the meaning of work, and paint a picture of how God’s master narrative gives us the biggest story for our work and the rest of our lives.
