Readings:
Psalm 21
Galatians 5:1-12
Focus:
Psalm 21:4: "He asked of you life, and you gave it to him, length of days for ever and ever."
When we turn to God and ask him to take control of our lives, he never refuses. All we have to do is say that we're sorry for what we've done wrong, that we accept Jesus Christ's sacrifice on our behalf, and that we want God to be in charge from now on. God never fails to forgive and he never fails to give us, in exchange for this acknowledgement, eternal life.
As this psalm says, God bestows everlasting blessings on us and makes us glad with the joy of his presence. He welcomes us with blessings and prosperity (if nothing else, at the very least spiritual prosperity) and he places a crown of finest gold on our head. That crown is the knowledge that we belong to him and can never be lost from him. It's the very best crown a person could ever hope to wear.
