He made us worthy of this honor!

When I consider the supernatural nature of God’s love to us, I continually stand in awe at the level of grace and kindness that He has bestowed upon us in Christ! Because of the gift of His sacrifice, He has adopted us into His family and has qualified us to share in the inheritance that He has for all of His saints. Not only that, He has also made us fit to stand in this grace. Colossians 1:12 (AMPC) says: “Giving thanks to the Father, Who has qualified and made us fit to share the portion which is the inheritance of the saints (God’s holy people) in the Light”.

The Apostle Paul prayed that we would be grateful to God for letting us have part in this inheritance. So my question to you today is: Are you grateful for what God has already given us? Are we grateful for His goodness in the land of the living? Are you grateful that He has adopted you into His family? Truly we have a lot to be grateful for in this holiday season. Jesus IS the reason for the season!

Colossians 1:12 (CEV) “I pray that you will be grateful to God for letting you have part in what he has promised his people in the kingdom of light”

Don’t despair; You will see the goodness of the Lord!

Our faith in God and His word gives us hope, both now and for the future. You might be going through a time of testing or difficulty at this point. However, your faith and confidence in what God has promised you will give you that supernatural peace and strength to stand, overcome and break through any struggles you are currently experiencing. Even King David understood the importance of his faith in God and how God’s goodness could help him in the worst of situations. Psalm 27:13 says: “I would have despaired had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living”. Another version says: “I would have fainted had I not believed.” Yes, the journey can sometimes seem overwhelming, but you have something on the inside that is ready to “kick-in” and help you. God’s goodness is right there with you and you WILL see His goodness in the land of the living. It’s not time to give up; It’s time to fire up and boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me (Hebrews 13:6)?”
