as i drove home today... this first verse seemed to speak to exactly what i was feeling.
....there was some craziness that happened today that made me just long for heaven's gates. Oh how depraved this world is. How full of greed, hate, anger, depression, sadness, confusion, sickness and death it is... to which all are linked to sin. What a glorious day it will be when our Lord returns & darkness no long has dominion!
...but in reality, as i meditate on these things, Satan, sin and death have already been dealt with on the cross, right? It seems to me that it made a way for us to choose life over death, which before the option was not available for us. We can now choose to live by the Holy Spirit, instead of by the rules of sin, satan, and death aka the ways of the world. However, these things are still very present around us in the world, but the key is to keep our eyes fixed on the things above ... and to remember that we are in this world, but not of it, "we're just a passing through".
"If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory." -Colossians 3:1-4
praise be to Jesus. let us seek the things that are above...and set our minds on things that are above. For to be hidden in Christ is our glory, through His death burial and resurrection, we are In Christ Jesus.
but there is a Day coming, when Satan and sin and suffering will be no longer... and what a beautiful day that will be! A day of rejoicing! Let our hearts be glad, because His eye is on the sparrow, and He will one day return for His bride. :) Praise be to our Lord!
gnight :).
