"Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in Heaven."
~ Matthew 10:32
Sweet is the prospect that the text sets before me! Friends forsake and enemies exult, but the Lord does not disown His servant. My Lord will own me even here and give me new tokens of His favorable regard. But there comes a day when I must stand before the Father. What bliss to think that Jesus will confess me then! He will say, "This man truly trusted Me, and was willing to be reproached for My names's sake; and therefore I acknowledge him as Mine."
It will be an honor beyond all honors for the Lord Jesus to confess us in the presence of the divine Majesty in the heavens. Never let me be ashamed to own my Lord. Shall I blush to own Him who promises to own me?" (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
Please pray this prayer with me this morning. Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, our debts, and our trespasses against You and man, as we forgive those who are indebted to us and those who have trespassed against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all evil; For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Honor and Glory forever! It is in Christ Jesus' Precious Name we pray and receive it, Amen!
