The Universality of God’s Love
In a world where differences often divide us, it’s refreshing to remember that God’s love knows no bounds. As Romans 10:12-13 reminds us, “For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek; for the same Lord over all is rich unto all who call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” This powerful message of inclusivity is a beacon of hope for all who feel unworthy or unqualified to approach God.
The Potholes of Life
We’ve all been there – stuck in the rut of our own making, feeling like we’re not good enough to pray to God ourselves. That’s exactly where one woman found herself when she came to my office seeking prayer. Her life was marked by numerous potholes, and she felt like her mistakes disqualified her from approaching God directly. But she was mistaken.
God’s Riches Are Available to All
God’s Word is clear: His wealth of love, compassion, forgiveness, help, strength, wisdom, and all His riches are available to those who call upon Him. It’s not about who we are or what we’ve done; it’s about who He is. As Paul so eloquently puts it, “The Lord is rich unto all who call upon Him.” This promise is for everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances.
You Are Invited
Today, you’re invited to call upon God, knowing that He waits to hear your voice and meet your needs out of His infinite riches. Don’t let feelings of inadequacy hold you back any longer. Remember, “the same Lord over all” includes you.
A Prayer of Surrender
Father God, thank you that I can come to you and call upon you, not because of who I am but because of who you are. Thank you that you are the same Lord over all of us and you will show yourself to those who call on you. I cry out to you today to come into my life and my circumstances. Forgive me for the messes I’ve made and meet my needs today out of your rich supply of strength and wisdom. You know what I need today, Lord. Thank you that I can ask because of who you are. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
