Seeing everything in life as an opportunity to worship God!
The integrity of our spiritual house will end up being compromised if Christ is not used as the reference point, or when we build off of any other foundation than Him! Our spiritual house may just come crumbling down when the forces of evil come against it (notice I said when, not if!).
Don’t wait for the troubles of life to come before you shore up the hope of your heart. Jesus is our only hope!
So, when you are tempted to forget the freedom that you have in Christ because of the unfailing love that was shown through His death, burial, and resurrection, please remember that when you made your way to the Cross and received forgiveness of your sins through belief and repentance our God adopted you and called you His child forever! He has purchased your inheritance into His Kingdom, and desires for you to walk in the abundant life of freedom that is yours in Christ. When we open our hearts to this understanding and lay ourselves down in order to receive more of Him, that is when we will truly appreciate the level of wholeness and freedom that is ours in Christ! Surrender to Him and watch how He transforms the tyranny of sin into the grace of freedom!
O’ that God would reveal Himself as supreme in your struggles, pains, hurts, and joys! O’ that we would have the faith to trust in His unchanging grace at all times! O’ that this truth would refresh our spirits and bring us the encouragement and confidence we need to face the day ahead of us- knowing that the All-Sufficient, Supreme God of the universe calls us His son and daughter! Please Lord, revive our hearts and remind us of Whose we are, Amen!
