No Matter What May Come

My Utmost For His Highest

 

‘We have to develop godly habits to express what God’s grace has done in us. It is not just a question of being saved from hell, but of being saved so that “the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.” And it is adversity that makes us exhibit His life in our mortal flesh.’ CHAMBERS

 

2 Corinthians 4:9-11 “But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body.”

 

Every trial we face is an opportunity to let the light of Christ shine to a lost and dying world.  Your faith can shine brightest when your life seems the darkest. I say “can” because we don’t always keep our focus where it needs to be … we don’t always remember if God is for us who – or what -- can stand against us.

 

When we say “Lord, use me” do we really mean it without reservation? What if He wants to use you while you are getting chemo-therapy … or suffering through some hardship?  God has a plan.  We are part of that plan … the question is, are we will to play our part … or do we prefer to live a life uninterrupted with hardship and disappointment … just one blessing after another … skipping through the field of daisies .. not a care in the world … that is Heaven, my friend. And we are not there yet.  We live in a fallen world that desperately needs a savior … are you willing to show them Jesus in your life .. no matter what may come?  Let your light shine, Christian and bring glory to God.
