Proverbs 11:15 (NKJV) 15 He who is surety for a stranger will suffer, But one who hates being surety is secure.
The issues of standing in the gap for another are obvious, we cannot know the mind, will or intentions of others. To say, "I will make sure that person, does this or that," is the position of not counting the costs and it usually will cost us much.
However, for God it is a completely different story, "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich." 2 Corinthians 8:9 (NKJV) Our God willingly stands in the gap for us, knowing He has given the choice to do right entirely into our hands.
God is being surety for us today, He knows the cost, have you trusted Him entirely with your life? Only God can afford the awful price of my sins!
Heavenly Father in You alone there is no other, we live and breath and have life. Help us to live this life for You, that we may please You. Amen
