Blessed...
That's
right, blessed. If you are in fellowship with the Father through the Son, I
pray the Spirit remind you how blessed you are today!
When
we walk in abiding trust -- that's called "faith" -- in God, He gives
us Himself: "And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever
would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those
who seek him." (Hebrews 11:6 ESV) He is the Rewarder and He is the Reward!
We are blessed!
The
Apostle Paul wrote to the church at Ephesus: "Blessed be the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every
spiritual blessing in the heavenly places" (Ephesians 1:3 ESV)
Do
you notice how many times some form of the word "bless" is used in
that sentence? The Blesser, which is God, is a blessing and blesses those in
Christ. Another way to read this verse is like this: "How blessed is God!
And what a blessing he is! He’s the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and
takes us to the high places of blessing in him."
Your
health may be fading, but in Christ you are blessed...
Your wealth may be challenged, but in Christ you are blessed...
Your family life may be difficult, but in Christ you are blessed...
Your job may try your nerves, but in Christ you are blessed...
Your heart may be broken, but in Christ you are blessed...
At
every turn, life may be hammering at you, but in Christ you are blessed. None
of our troubles diminish our God, and, for we who believe, He is the constant
blessing which neither powers above or powers below can diminish.
My
beloved friend, in Christ, you are blessed...
