Romans 4:25
He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.
Ampl. -- Who was betrayed and put to death because of our misdeeds and was raised to secure our justification-our acquittal, and to make our account balance, absolving us from all guilt before God.
You have me in Ps 91 after reading the above scripture showing me that You father, and Your Son, Jesus are LIFE!! I am Your child and am able to walk in Your life and Your love and Your will, all by Your grace. Ps 91 is for me and for all believers for we are in Christ Jesus and He says all His promises are “yes” to all who are “in Him” (Jesus).
There is a word that has stood out today; that is the word pestilence. It is the Hebrew word rbd-Deber the meaning from the Greek lexicon says
1. pestilence, plague
2.murrain (animal disease); cattle disease
Webster says:
1. a contagious /infectious epidemic disease that is virulent and devastating
2. something that is destructive or pernicious (highly injurious or destructive)
Anyway we look at it-a pestilence is destructive; not for believers, not from You, Father. We are protected by You through the blood of Your Son, Jesus. You also say that Your faithfulness is our shield and bulwark (Ps 91:4). A bulwark is a wall-like defensive structure.
We can believe You and trust You to keep Your word when You tell us You love us and will keep us and will protect us from all evil ( Ps 91:10). For it is impossible for You to lie. (Heb 6:18)
You give LIFE! Jesus’ death brought not only eternal life but moment by moment life to all who believe. We were raised to live in Jesus' resurrected life.
What a wonderful God Your are!
I love You, Father!

Intimacy
You showed me today about marriage and that the Cross must be at the core of intimacy.
True intimacy with our spouse comes through our intimacy with You, Father. As we grow in our understanding of what You have done for us through Jesus’ death and Resurrection, we draw closer to You.
As we discover the grace (Rom 5:15) and deep love that you abundantly pour out on us, we are able to extend the same to our mate.
In realizing the forgiveness given to us at the Cross (Eph 4:32), we are able to forgive the most annoying or hurtful sins.
Calling on and receiving the super abundance of grace (Rom 5:17)available to us through the work of the Cross, our spiritual eyes are opened to see others as you see them.
As you see me, you see my mate. We are both covered by the blood of Jesus, fully accepted by you, fully loved.
Thank you Father that Your Holy Spirit will enable me to call out for the grace to accept and to love as You have loved me.
