DR CHARLES STANLEY IN TOUCH DAILY DEVOTIONAL 29 AUGUST 2021

Sunday Reflection: Whole and Free

To get the most out of this devotion, set aside time to read the Scripture referenced throughout.

So often, we are hindered by failures, which leave us feeling deficient and incomplete. But God’s Word tells a different story. Take the Greek word holokléros, for instance. It is used only twice in Scripture (1 Thess. 5:23 and James 1:4), and it means “complete in every part, sound, perfect, entire.”

But its more literal definition is even more encouraging. According to Strong’s Concordance, the word means “all that is included (apportioned) through divine lot.” So, though we might feel completion is lacking, that is far from the truth. It’s our portion, our share. Freely given. That is freedom.

Prayer Points For Sunday 29 August 2021 Open Heaven

There’s no final component to be found, no striving required. The peace that comes with redemption is already ours. All we need to do is rest in the knowledge that we are whole and, better still, deeply loved by the One who attained the victory for us.
