Scriptural reference: “Then Jesus told them this parable: “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”” Luke 15:3-7, 10 NIV Application: In our world, getting 99% right is exceptional. To God, that's no reason to cheer. Thank Him that His standard of success is 100%. Who knows? But for His divine grace you or I could have been in that 1%. Consider your good fortune. You may have been that one sheep. Prayer:
Thank You God, for saving me. Thank you also for keeping me safe every day.
