There
is only one pathway to eternal bliss and that is through Jesus Christ. He shed
His blood to purchase our salvation for us and to remove all sin from our
record - past, present and future.
Once
the Trinity moves in to our spirit, there is no more room for evil to survive.
We find less pleasure in sin and the things of this world. Jesus is our whole
life (Colossians 3:3-4).
His
promises are true, He stabilizes our life, and He is permanent and unchangeable
(Hebrews 13:5-8). He gives us a level path on which to live, in spite of our
enemies and life's trials (Psalm 23:3).
We
access His power in our spirit to bring stability to our soul - to our
thoughts, choices and emotions (Psalm 23:3). He floods our soul with His peace,
joy, grace, strength and love. He generously supplies all of our needs day or
night (Philippians 4:19).
Our
Father God graciously removes all negative thoughts and emotions from our life.
Insecurity, loneliness, depression, anxiety and worry are short-lived in our
soul now, because He abides in us with all of His wisdom and power.
We
focus on His goodness and abundant love, and nothing in this world or in our
flesh can bless us with this type of guilt-free pleasure. He is our glorious
joy (1 Peter 1:8).
He
navigates for us in uncharted waters, gives us divine appointments throughout
our life to influence others to believe in Him too, and causes His light to
come flooding in during our times of darkest trials (Isaiah 42:16; Psalm 37:5).
Prayer:
Father
God, thank You for teaching us to discern Your voice in the sea of voices in
our mind. You strengthen us to follow Your leading and to appreciate Your
shepherding in our life. You make our position secure and no one or no issue
can snatch us from Your hand (John 10: 27-29).
Your
sanctifying work in our soul, takes our responsibility to "be good"
and puts it squarely in Your capable hands (Philippians 2:12-13). As we totally
submit to Your love and grace and mercy, You cause us to bear the fruit of Your
salvation in our life - made possible for us by Jesus' sacrifice on Calvary's
cross (John 3:16-18; Galatians 2:20). We praise You all of the days of our
life.
Thought
for the Day:
Jesus
gave us the gift of redemption through His blood (Ephesians 1:7), and the
ability and His strength to accomplish anything He calls us to do (Philippians
4:13); therefore, we walk in the truth of our position as co-heirs with Jesus
and recipients of God's goodness toward us (Hebrew 12:28).
