Cover Your Bases

Daily Gratitude Year 12 - Day 139: Today, I am grateful we can cover our bases.  

I am a just incase girl who likes to have a fully loaded back-up plan. Life rarely goes as planned, and I have discovered that the plot twists are simply a part of living a full life. That said, I like to have all of my bases covered when I can. 

This gave me pause and food for thoughts:

"Fear-based repentance makes us hate ourselves. Joy-based repentance makes us hate the sin." -Timothy Keller

I had never considered the importance of understanding the "base" of our repentance. Is it fear? Is it joy? Is it something else? A change of heart impacts everything we do. 

What is my relationship with His Word? Am I hungry for it? How do I feel about sin? Do I have my bases covered? 

"For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other believers, as you still do. -Hebrews 6:10

What drives our days? 

Today, I am grateful we can cover our bases.
