The gospel of Christ in my every day life

Tuesday...another day where the Lord was so gracious and faithful to me, another day of provision seen in each moment...strength when I was feeling weak, wisdom in the uncertain moments, kindness and care for those around me. All of these things were not of myself because I am anything but strong and wise and kind and caring...

As I was driving home from work that day, I became acutely aware that whether I succeed or fail at work (or anywhere in my life) it is not those successes or failures that identify who I am..because I am clothed in the rightousness of my Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. He is my identity! Wow! What a relief to be reminded that the gospel of Christ did not just provide my salvation but is also my source of sanctification.
