God's
plan for mankind is to live in us, to fill us with His Truth and Life, and to
live in unity with our soul and spirit so that His Life is manifested through
us.
He always hears our prayers and
stores our tears in a bottle. He will avenge each transgression against His
Beloved Saints (Psalm 4:3, 56:8). He gives us His compassionate heart, and we are His People and He is
our God (Ezekiel 36:26-28).
We call out to God on His throne
in heaven; and He hears and answers us (Psalm 3:4). He sustains us in every
way, gives us sweet rest and never leaves or forsakes us, walking in us through
every circumstance (Psalm 3:5; Hebrews 13:5).
Our God gives us relief from our
distress and has mercy on us (Psalm 4:1). He delivers and blesses us, because He
works out every circumstance for our good, even in death we go to live with Him
(Psalm 3:8; Romans 2:28).
If we
feel overcome by life's problems, we focus on and cling to Christ in us
(Colossians 1:27). Our labors for the Lord are not in vain; so we can live this
life unmoved by its threats, unafraid in its trials and abounding in the work
of the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:57-58).
Once
we surrender our life to Christ, we realize that we are not on this earth to
amass worldly goods, but to bring as many people to Heaven with us as will come
humbly to God's love.
If we
are in Christ, we have no reason to fear the curse of sin or the god of this
world, the devil (Mark 5:36). We live in His perfect love, which will diminish
all of our fears (1 John 4:18).
As we
follow the Lord in our thoughts, words and actions, we live in victory, because
He lives within us (Luke 8:50). He works out everything for our ultimate good
(Romans 8:29).
Prayer:
Father
God, life wounds us and Satan keeps us in bondage to those wounds. Remind us
that You will reveal Satan's lies, speak to us Your truth and set us free from
the fear of the unknown future, free from regrets or hurts from our past, and
free to walk in the new life, which Christ earned for us through His passion and
death.
Teach
us the fullness of our life in Christ's resurrection. Fill us through our
entire being with all of Your fullness (Ephesians 3:16-19, Amplified Bible).
Empower us to be a light set on a hill and use us to draw everyone to You (Matthew
5:14-16; John 12:32). Help us to live in the purpose You have for our life
instead of our own plans (Ephesians 2:10).
Thought
for the Day:
The
Lord who walked on water and calmed the raging sea lives within every authentic
Believer; He heals, empowers, guides, helps our unbelief and fulfills every one
of us; then He sets apart His true Believers as
a special and holy priesthood.
