OCT. 28 – Give an Account

Romans 14:12  So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.

Explanation: Responsibility points to accountability. Grace saves, but stewardship will be examined. Every life matters eternally. This truth sobers us and makes us faithful.

Judgment reminds us of accountability.
Grace motivates faithfulness.
Life carries eternal weight.

Poem — “The Account”
Every life stands before God.
Every word is remembered.
Every deed is recorded.
Every motive is known.
Every account is given.

Grace covers sin at the cross.
Mercy redeems failures.
But stewardship is examined.
Faithfulness is rewarded.
Life matters forever.

The believer lives soberly.
The servant obeys joyfully.
The steward acts faithfully.
The child longs to hear “Well done.”
The disciple glorifies Christ.

Prayer: Lord, remind me I will give account. Keep me faithful in word and deed. Guard me from carelessness.
Father, let accountability shape my daily walk. May my life bring You glory. Amen.
