Even on a good day during our lifetime, we can still
feel lonely, uncertain, deeply saddened, insecure and incomplete. Life has a
way of throwing us curve balls that we were not expecting.
Often, we cause our own instability due to making
our own plans and forgetting to follow God's guidance throughout our day.
However, there are those times that we abide in the presence of God's will, and
circumstances arise that threaten to steal our peace and joy.
God promises to lead us when we find our self
walking along unfamiliar paths. He makes up for our blindness when it comes to
the area of spiritual warfare and unknown future events (Isaiah 42:16).
He turns our darkest hour into light (Psalm 112:4) and
makes our rough spaces smooth (Isaiah 45:2). He never leaves or forsakes us (Hebrews
13:5) and He cherishes us with an unconditional, everlasting love (Jeremiah
31:3; John 3:16-17).
Planets in our solar system orbit in a predictable
pattern, because the sun is a stable center of gravitational pull. Without that
pull, the planets would sling out into the universe without any order.
If Jesus Christ is the center of our universe, we
too stay in a structured orbit (Colossians 3:3-4); but without Him as our axis,
we sling out into life without any real stability.
Once we invite Christ into our life, God stabilizes
our life’s orbit. As we make Him the center of our universe, we see amazing
things starting to happen in our life. He even ordains that we enjoy synergy,
balance, order and cohesion regardless of our circumstances.
Prayer:
Father God, as Your people, we listen to Your
voice every moment of the day. You know us and we follow You as sheep follow
their shepherd. You give us eternal life, which starts right here on
the earth (John 17:3). We shall never perish, because no one can
ever snatch us out of Your hand (John 10:27-29).
Thank You that Your Spirit crucifies our fleshly
nature and that it is no longer us who are living our life. Christ is living in
us and through us. We live by faith in Your Son, because You love us and sent
Jesus to die for our eternal salvation (Galatians 2:20). Our relationship with You
is the only part of our life that is stable and secure, and that can never be
taken away.
Thought for the Day:
Once Christ resides within us, He turns our
darkness into light; and we can access the power of His mercy, grace,
deliverance, joy, provision and strength at any moment day or night.
