Daily Devotion

“The unrepentant walk on the top of the pit of hell, supported only by a rotting covering. At any given moment, there is nothing to prevent the wicked from falling into hell, only the simple providence of God to temporarily sustain them.”

Jonathan Edwards · Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God

Scripture

Psalm 73:18-19 You set them in slippery places; you cast them down into destruction. How desolate they have become in a moment! They are utterly destroyed by terror.

Reflection

When I reflect on how I should have fallen into perdition because of my sin, I realize that my continued existence is entirely due to God's mercy. Without God, we are like walking on rotten grass, ready to fall at any moment. Only by trusting in God's grace can we find peace of mind. True security lies not in our own hands, but in the Lord who provides us with grace. May I no longer despise sin, but instead turn to Him in awe.
