JESUS is our FORERUNNER Who has gone in before us, Who established ahead of time an UNSHAKEABLE and UNBREAKABLE HOPE, that IN HIM we may experience PERFECT PEACE in the midst of every storm that comes our way.
“He was chosen BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.” (1 Peter 1:20 NIV)
“Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” (Exodus 3:13-14)
“This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24)
Each day is a new day. There is nothing like it, none in the past and there will never be in the future. TODAY is a precious and unrepeatable gift that the Lord has made. What is expected of us TODAY is to rejoice and be glad in it.
I am so glad to know by the power of His revealed Word that God is so mindful of us, and not mindful of the wrongdoings when we are IN CHRIST. The divine exchange that happened at the cross made our eternal victory possible that positioned us to live the good life that He has prearranged and made ready for us.
When you thank Him, you are directing your focus on Him.
When you thank Him, you are acknowledging His presence and His power that is effectually at work in you.
When you thank Him, you are recognizing the truth that IN HIM ALL THINGS consist.
When you thank Him, your heart is constantly and consistently connected to Him, our constant Companion.
God did not create a planet of robots. He created the earth filled with His beloveds where relationship is the ultimate key to living a victorious life. He desires not just mere relationship but He refuses to have a relationship with us without an ever-binding covenant. The term “covenant” is of Latin origin (con venire), meaning a coming together. It presupposes two or more parties who come together to make a contract, agreeing on promises, stipulations, privileges, and responsibilities. It refers to two or more parties bound together. It means a lifelong friendship agreement; or it can refer to a marriage.
“Here is a simple, rule-of-thumb guide for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you, then grab the initiative and do it for them. Add up God’s Law and Prophets and this is what you get.” (Matthew 7:12 MSG)
Jesus is the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). Yes, He is the unblemished Lamb, the perfect offering for the atonement for our sin once and for all. Because of Him, we have been justified and made righteous before God that we may come boldly to His throne to obtain mercy and find grace in time of need.
“The one who does not expect that God will speak will discount every single time when God does speak.” -A. W. TOZER
“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16 NKJV)
Why BOLDLY? Because in the New Covenant, we have a GREAT HIGH PRIEST, JESUS CHRIST, who was in ALL POINTS tempted as we are, yet WITHOUT SIN (Hebrews 4:15). We only don’t have a GREAT High Priest but a High Priest FOREVER (Hebrews 5:6).
Behold, I Am With You Always! -JESUS
