We wrote up a quote on the board, “Better than I deserve.” They said this was Mr. Hendrix response to when he was asked at school,” How are you doing today?” Do you ever think about how you perceive your day. Not many people have the same response that he had. Many people would give you a response of all the things going wrong in their day. In reality we are all better than we deserve because of what Christ did for us on the cross. God has dealt with us better than we deserve because he loves us. Even when you think you are having a bad day think about this fact. We deserve death but Christ came to give us life!
You have dealt well with Your servant,
O LORD, according to Your word.
Teach me good judgment and knowledge,
For I believe Your commandments.
Before I was afflicted I went astray,
But now I keep Your word.
You are good, and do good;
Teach me Your statutes.
The proud have forged a lie against me,
But I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart.
Psalm 119:65-69
