We are living in some tough times, aren’t we?
Oh I could go on and list all of the things that seem to be reeling out of control in our country, but I am not going to go there!
Have you been there lately?
Are your present life circumstances bearing down on you like a crashing wave?
Is your heart weighed down with concern for our country,
your family, or one you know?
If you are anything like me, your have answered these with a YES.
Well then….what are we to do? What CAN we do?
Where is our focus suppose to be?
That is the most important question during times like these!
I read this today and it really blessed me.
It is authored by one of my favorite pastors, Alistair Begg. He
has a ministry called “Truth For Life” and is an excellent teacher!
This is the best answer to correcting our focus!
It will always give a Christian the greatest calm, quiet, ease, and peace to think of the perfect righteousness of Christ. How often are the saints of God downcast and sad! I do not think they ought to be. I do not think they would be if they could always see their perfection in Christ.
There are some who are always talking about corruption and the depravity of the heart and the innate evil of the soul. This is quite true, but why not go a little further and remember that we are perfect in Christ Jesus??
It is no wonder that those who are dwelling upon their own {or others} corruption should wear such downcast looks; but surely if we call to mind "Christ Jesus, whom God made . . . our righteousness,"1 we shall be of good cheer. What though distresses afflict me, though Satan assault me, though there may be many things to be experienced before I get to heaven, those are done for me in the covenant of divine grace; there is nothing wanting in my Lord--Christ has done it all.
Did you get that? All is taken care of in the covenant of
divine grace!
Our God is busy tending to ALL of the details of everything
that is going on in the lives of those who love Him, and in this world! His truth and His righteousness shall prevail!
We can mount up with wings of eagles, and soar far above all
the cares of this world as we trust in Him, and focus on His
righteousness!
Will you look to Him?
Come soar with me….
Isn’t the view incredible up here above the clouds?
Can you hear the hush of the wind on your wings?
He’s smiling at us flyin’ around and delighting in handling it all for us and our meditation on Him!
Now this is the LIFE!!
Have a wonderful week…don’t let anyone or anything
clip your wings!
Love ya bunches!
