“Living a full and overflowing life does not rest in bodily health, in circumstances, nor even in seeing God’s work succeed, but in the perfect understanding of God, and in the same fellowship and oneness with Him that Jesus Himself enjoyed. But the first thing that will hinder this joy is the subtle irritability caused by giving too much thought to our circumstances. Jesus said, “The cares of this world,… choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful” (Mark 4:19). And before we even realize what has happened, we are caught up in our cares. All that God has done for us is merely the threshold –– He wants us to come to the place where we will be His witnesses and proclaim who Jesus is.” -Oswald Chambers

Jesus is the Messiah. The Living God sent to show us how to Live and reunite us with our Holy (in every way that is perfect and beautiful) Creator. We are loved so much more than we will ever know. Let our peace come from knowing Who He Is, regardless of this world. Let us focus on the eternal. “Sky and earth will wear out; my words won’t wear out.” -Matthew 24:35 

Lord, help us see. Amen.
