grass – MarinaMorrison(aka)EdenStillwater'sInspirations

Psalm 91, ladies and gentlemen, is one of the most powerful revelations of God’s love toward us, and of our stature in this world.

I say, “stature,” because of those nine foot long beds I saw in the castles in Germany. To see the size of some of those men is awe-inspiring. I think about that scripture about the sons of Anak-the Nephilim. The Israelites saw them and they were, “like grasshoppers” in their own sight. We often see ourselves that way, in light of the tribulation or trouble we’re facing. No, no, no! In Christ Jesus, we’re as taller and mightier than anyone or anything! (Numbers 14:21), (Hab. 2:14), (Hab. 3:3), (Isa. 6:3)

I hope this is a psalm that you will post on a wall and read aloud. You will be so filled with peace, strength, and joy!

Today’s message from God Calling – A.J. Russell, bids us to accept the trials that come our way. We are reminded that we cannot be destroyed; that God’s grace is sufficient for us. God’s grace is sufficient for all our needs, in every circumstance. That one’s easy to forget, isn’t it? Something that has helped me in the past, and continues to be a great help to me, is acceptance .

As I thought about acceptance in regard to this message, I saw it in a different light. It isn’t merely acceptance of the trials that matters. It is, first and foremost, acceptance of our new heritage in Christ Jesus, complete with all the authority, peace, power, etc. that comes with that heritage, that makes the difference. (2Co. 5:17) -“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” That acceptance changes the way we see those trials. It changes their size, first of all. Seeing them in light of who you are in Christ, is like looking through the other end of the binoculars. Remember the Israelites seeing themselves as grasshoppers in comparison to the Philistines? (Numbers 13:33)

Jesus showed us how to turn the binoculars around, so we see the truth. The truth is that nothing can separate us from the love of God, He is our beginning and our end, and in Him there is no end for us. (Romans 8:39) (Psalm 91) (John 11:26) Finally, there’s the last part of that scripture about God’s grace being sufficient for us…”for my power is made perfect (or perfected) in weakness. That weakness spoken of there is the laying down of our will, our attitude(s), thoughts and words, and our ways. Instead, we are to adhere to God’s will, His attitudes, thoughts and words, and His ways. (Jeremiah 29:11) (2 Co. 10:5) (Matt. 5:48) That changes the trial to an opportunity to win; just like Jesus does-every time…and, when He wins, we all do. Lord, help me to get this one down for good, please. Thank you.
