These are all from Tripp's Twitter. He usually has three every day. Good reminders to chew on:
You've
not been left to secure your own future because God in grace has
secured an end to your story more glorious than you can grasp.
Corporate
worship is designed to remind you that no matter how brilliant or
regrettable your track record is, it's grace in which you stand!
We
never get the freedom and long-term satisfaction we thought self-rule
would bring. Ignoring God is never a pathway to blessing.
The
Bible is not about learning how to be likable in God's eyes, but how
God in grace rescues and forgives otherwise unlikeable people.
You
stand in the right because grace atones. You desire what is right
because grace transforms.You do what is right because grace empowers.
We
lose sight of what's truly important in life. The resurrection of
Jesus and our future resurrection tells us what's important.
God
questions us, "Why spend money on what's not bread and labor on
what doesn't satisfy." Sadly, many of us do that day after day.
What
makes eternity wonderful is that God is restored to his rightful
place at the center of all things.
Sin
causes us to forget God and live as little self-sovereigns, wanting
to reign for our own glory. For this there is the grace of Jesus.
When
we ask now to give us what only eternity can give, we end up driven,
frustrated, discouraged, and ultimately hopeless.
