Jesus
Gave His Life For Our Sins, Just As God Our Father Planned,
In
Order To Rescue Us
From
This Evil World In Which We Live.
Scripture
Galatians
1
3 May God
the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
4 Jesus gave
his life for our sins, just as God our Father planned, in order to
rescue us from this evil world in which we live.
5 All glory
to God forever and ever! Amen.
Observation
I
don't need to remind you, do I, that this world that we live in is
evil.
Every
day with the morning news we get a reminder of just how evil this
world is! I am so glad that this is not my home – I am just passing
through!
Fear
– Worry – Hysteria – those words should not describe me. Why
not? Because I have been blood bought. I have been redeemed. I have
already been rescued. I am part of God's forever family. I am one of
His children. Nothing touches my life unless it gets my Heavenly
Father's okay! Nothing!
In
these days of uncertainty I plan on holding on to all of God's
promises. I would recommend that you do the same!
This
is the time where you and I can make God smile by the way we live.
I
have been rescued and I need to act like it!
Proverbs
3:5-6
5 Trust in
the Lord with all your heart;
do
not depend on your own understanding.
6 Seek his
will in all you do,
and he will show you
which path to take.
Application
I
will trust the Lord no matter what is going on around me.
How
about you?
Habakkuk
3
17 Even
though the fig trees have no blossoms,
and
there are no grapes on the vines;
even though the olive crop
fails,
and the fields lie empty and
barren;
even though the flocks die in the fields,
and
the cattle barns are empty,
18 yet
I will rejoice in the Lord!
I will be
joyful in the God of my salvation!
19 The
Sovereign Lord is my strength!
He
makes me as surefooted as a deer,
able to
tread upon the heights.
Psalm
18:19
He
led me to a place of safety; he rescued me because he delights
in me.
Psalm
34:17
The Lord hears
his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from
all their troubles.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, this would be frightening place to live if it were not for
the fact that I am one of your children. I have already been rescued.
Nothing can touch my life that You do not allow. So many of Your
promises come to my mind right now as I write out this prayer to You.
Thank You for giving me thousands of promises to hold on to when
times get difficult. You are my anchor. You are my strength.
