Daily Walk Through the New Testament
March 10
Read Revelation 3:7-4:5

It is dangerous to make decisions based on pleasing people. When we please the person in front of us and then change directions to please the next person we encounter, we’re not living according to moral convictions. We’re choosing what’s easy in the moment rather than being fully committed to righteousness.
Jesus’ message to the Laodiceans, and to us today, is clear: make certain you are all in or not in at all (3:16). The most dangerous position you can be in is half in & half out. When Jesus knocks on your door, He’s not looking for help; He’s offering help. He’s offering eternity, peace, joy, hope, and love for today and forever. Our passage today assures us He is our strength, our hope, and our security.
Jesus calls us to embrace what He offers with all that we are. He calls us to die to ourselves and follow Him. As you journey through your day, be mindful that He longs for you to move away from your lukewarmness and into the heat of His love. Switch your focus from your problems to His presence. Honor Him as Lord by keeping His commands and walking in the Spirit. Stop striving in your strength and watch to see what He will do in you and through you.
