Today's Verse from the New Living Translation

"Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah."

Acts 3:19–20
view in context


Encouragement for Today

Here's the essence of the gospel in a sentence: Turn from your sins; turn toward God. Then you'll be cleansed of sin, and God will bring refreshment from his very presence. This "turning" doesn't happen just once, but daily. Daily we find ourselves not facing God, but facing temptation, or our own selfishness, or even our own pain inflicted by others. As soon as we become aware of this, we can turn back to God. Whenever you don't sense God's presence, ask yourself: In what direction am I facing? Do I need to turn around?
