With God all things are possible

| One of the benefits of our salvation is the union we have with Christ. When we trust Jesus alone to save us, His life, death, and resurrection become our life, death, and resurrection.
David foreshadowed this union in Psalm 69. He showed that oneness with Christ means more than the "easy life" . If we truly unite with Christ in salvation, we will also join with Him in the persecution and suffering He endured. 1 Peter 2:20-24
You may be thinking, How in the world can union with Christ be beneficial if it means I must endure persecution and suffering? That is a great question, and one that David answered; And you who seek God , your hearts shall live. Those who truly seek God will live forever because "in Christ" they are already victorious over the persecution and suffering that will come their way. Though evil doers may crowd around you, in Christ you have already overcome! For this reason, "et heaven and earth praise Him , the seas and everything that moves in them"
Those who do evil against you may never be brought to justice on this earth, but justice will come when the King returns. Regardless of the timing of His coming, in Christ you can persevere now. PRAISE GOD for your union with Jesus, and rest in the victory He won at the cross on your behalf.
Psalm 69:29 But I am poor and sorrowful; Let Your salvation, O God, set me up on high 32-33 The humble shall see this and be glad; and you who seek God , your hearts shall live. For the Lord hears the poor, and does not despise His prisoners.
HAVE A VERY BLESSED FRIDAY AND WEEKEND.
FOR IT IS WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
SEEK GOD AND LIVE!!  | |

| And all of God's children said, "Amen!". This is an awesome message and one that I need to share with a particular special person in my life that is going through a very rough time. This person just lost the love of their life and can't get over the pain and tribulation that the lost one went through in this life. This will be just the message to help them understand that because she was a saved and redeemed child of God, she is resting in his eternal peace...she has, indeed, found victory over those who persecuted her! Thank you, Jesus!!! And thank you, Ladyjockey, for today's message! | |
