"For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him." 1 Thess 5:9-10
Sometimes we just need good news. Sometimes we need to be reminded of who we are in Christ Jesus. As Christians, we are afforded such great privileges both in this life and the next.
There are so many things that we see going on around us. In this day and age of a depressed economy, people out of work, homes being foreclosed upon and a world whose morality seems to worsen every day, it is understandable that we might become discouraged or despondent.
Beloved we must remember that though this is the world we live in, it is not the world to which we belong. We have already been made to sit with Christ in the heavenly places (Eph 2:6). Surely there will be bad news for those who reject God, but for those who accept Him and are obedient to His will, the benefit will be unimaginable.
So when you are down, when the world closes in on you, remember this is not your world. God has so much more in store for you.
In Revival,
Lee
