God taught me over the years to live life in full
awareness of the immense potential available to us through our union with Jesus
Christ.
Jesus within us breaks the chains of every type of
satanic or earthly hindrance, which attempts to steal our spiritual freedom
from us (Psalm 107:14).
He encourages us to take His yoke upon us, and to
learn from Him; so that we can find rest for our soul (Matthew 11:29). We live
a life of thanksgiving and praise to God.
Jesus is poised to deliver us from the bondage of
every negative emotion, wound and circumstance we experience, and to bring us
astounding joy that defies description and is full of His glory (1 Peter 1:8).
Our supply for each circumstance, and the wisdom to
deal with it comes from Christ in us, our hope of glory (Colossians 1:27). We
can look at our problems as adventures rather than as challenges.
God works them all out for our good, just as He
promised He would (Romans 8:28). Jesus, in the full power of God's divine
nature, dwells within each authentic Believer.
His divine nature in us infuses our body, soul and
spirit. Once we realize this, we rise above the dissonance of our concerns and
we enter a new realm of being led by the Spirit of God.
Life is not about you or me. It is about
proclaiming God to the world. He provides us with the wisdom, energy and power
to teach and admonish others about what we learn from Him (Colossians 1:28-29).
Prayer:
Father God, remind us that Christ lives as a light
within us, showing us the way You would have us to walk in this world. Help us
to use Your wisdom in everything we say and do.
Remind us to make the most of the time You give us
and not to foolishly use time for our own selfish gains. Show us Your will for
our life and help us to walk in it by the guidance of Your Holy Spirit within
us (Ephesians 5:14-17).
Thought for the Day:
Our problems are God’s opportunities to prove His
love to us and to demonstrate His glory in the earth; this fact changes our
focus and attitude about our trials.
