Sermon Daily Devotion 3: Reclaiming Your Sandbox
๐ Scripture: Then Jesus came to them and said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me...And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matthew 28:18, 20
๐ญReflection: As we slide into the weekend, look back at the mountain where Jesus gave His disciples the Great Commission. When He claimed "all authority in heaven and on earth, "He was using creation language. He was looking out over the world and declaring, "The sandbox that humanity broke with sin? I have officially reclaimed it." Jesus stepped directly into the dirt of His own creation to fix it. And right before He left, He didn't leave them standing stranded like someone dropped off at an airport curb. He gave a promise of absolute, present reality: "I am with you." Because of the Trinity, you are wrapped in an eternal circle. The Father designed you, the Son walks beside you, and the Spirit lives within you. No matter how heavy your burdens are today, the God of the cosmic beginning is the exact same God holding your personal present and your eternal future.
๐Prayer: Lord, thank You that I am never, ever alone. Help me to rest in Your presence this weekend, knowing that the entire Triune God holds my life perfectly in His hands. Amen.
