Perfection is a difficult mark to take hold of.
Perfect contentment, peace, hope, faith... really God?
"Be anxious for nothing"?
"In all things, with prayer and petition"?
Wow. This is an extreme God.
Wow. This is an all encompassing faith.
Wow. What is going to take to be all in?
Christ in me, the hope of glory. The Spirit of the living God leading my every moment. It takes being yielded completely to the Holy Spirit.
My perspective must change.
Today.
Here it is: To focus my mind on the finished work of Jesus Christ my savior. He is risen indeed! He has overcome the grave! Shout it among the nations, whisper it to your soul, picture it in your mind. Jesus has conquered death! Satan has lost all His authority in heaven on earth because Jesus has been “given all authority in heaven on earth”. End of story. Satan lost. We won. It is FINISHED.
FINISHED.
Don’t [we] dare miss that point.
We fight from victory; not for it.
He has made us a victorious people… you are not a sinner saved by grace… if you know the living Lord, then you are a saint for you were a sinner saved by grace. You were saved and now you became a saint.
The finished work of Calvary should rule my thoughts.
Finished.
