A Wealthy Place

As believers in Christ, we live in a wealthy place. We are forgiven, our sins washed away with the blood of the Lamb. We have a purpose, God has ordered our steps and has included us in His plan of sharing the gospel with others so that the world may know that He is God. He has given us His Spirit, never to leave us or to forsake us - to always be there to guide us into truth so that we might know the glory of His presence in our lives. The Spirit, there to comfort and give courage in time of need and when it seems our world may be falling apart - to instruct us when to pray, what to pray, how to pray, and whom to pray for. He has given us His Word to live by its great and precious promises, to serve as a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path so that we might not sin against Him. He has given us a spiritual family with which we will spend eternity, but that is with us now for strength and encouragement, to walk with, to witness with, to pray with, to laugh with, to weep with. Many times the bonds of our spiritual family seem stronger than the bonds with our earthly family, and yet, what a blessing when we have that strong spiritual bond in the Lord with our earthly family too! It is true that God has given us everything we need for life and godliness - His grace is sufficient for every need - when we are weak, He is strong. What a wealthly place in which we believers live! Believe Him - trust Him - rejoice in Him for He is our strength and our song, our salvation, our Rock and our refuge.
