Jesus and disciples hungry,
Life’s journey seems so tiring,
Let’s Open Our Hearts to the Father
Let’s open our hearts to the Father,
Let’s sing with a fervor and love,
Let’s put aside each fear and bother,
Let’s bask in His grace from above.
I am able to live and write and think because God gave me a body and a mind. My parents had a lot to do with me being here. It is THROUGH their relationship with each other that I was conceived and born. When I got born AGAIN years later, it was THROUGH all that Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior did for me. Let’s look at what we have THROUGH CHRIST in some of the New Testament uses of this idea.
I saw a wonderful truth this morning.
God is good ALWAYS AND IN ALL WAYS!
I’m married to a health specialist. Sherry focuses on keeping us both physically fit by getting the best available food, encouraging regular exercise, and even buying the safest dishwashing liquid. She and I have also been focusing on spiritual wholeness that brings divine physical healing, often miraculously.
Christ is at the Father’s right hand. We have more than “his works” as the foundation of our lives. We have his very existence as God’s ONLY-BEGOTTEN SON who is now raised and seated in the heavens FOR US. He is the ACTUAL HEAD of the spiritual body that we are members of. We belong to him as much as we do to each other. Paul warned people of not falling prey to Bible teachers who would minimize who and what Christ is for us today.
Jesus is the rock, the solid stone on which we stand.
I love the old hymn:
On Christ the solid rock I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand.
Christ is the rock.
Psalms 103:1 says, “Bless the LORD, O my soul: and ALL THAT IS WITHIN ME, bless his holy name.” That’s everything we are and can be. I do my best to live that way each day.
