(Colossians 1:27) “Which is Christ in you,
the hope of glory.”
This is a phenomenal statement and it
is packed with unquenchable power. The trapping of this world and the pressures
placed upon individuals to be better than the rest is a tangible driving force.
Awards are presented to the top students or employees with the hope of driving
others to be better in the differing fields of ones existence. Nevertheless when
stripped down there is always someone with an ulterior motive behind it all.
Satan drives us towards disobedience, to belittle God before those whom he is
trying to impress, the fallen angels, with the fruit of rampant sin throughout the
world proving that he exists. Creation on the other hand proves that God exists,
two very opposite extremes and yet both are real as the other. Tangible proof
that many have chosen to ignore! “Do-gooders” who deny their sin and animal
lovers that denounce the creator.
As true as these facts are, the
Christian has been separated from the world and called out from among those who
are driven by world domination. However without God’s intervention in our lives
we would be no different. This is a truth that must never be missed. We are a
people that fly a different flag, but how often do we forget the call of duty
and disregard our responsibilities? The astute patriot will make a noise and
let others identify where he stands. In like manner it’s up to the Christian to
do the same, but thankfully we are not left to their own motivation. It’s the Spirit
of God that prompts us into action. How often has a sudden urge befallen you to
fall to your knees and thank God for His involvement in your life? Last night
was such a night for me.
It is easy to be flounced away with
the raging tides of the topical waves of our time. For now cryptocurrency is a
pressing issue that demands my attention; a new opportunity to make hay whilst
the sun shines. It is easy to be “lost in translation” and without God intervention
in the believer’s life we would never be able to stand. For others it may be
some other unrelenting nagging voice that drives you to be better than the
rest. God is the One who reminds us of His existence in our lives, thank God
for that! He trims our sails and guides us towards His truth. It’s the Spirit
of God in us that reminds us of His intercession in our lives, this must never
be missed and the only reason it isn’t is because of His enduring mercies.
Thank you Father God for Jesus and His obedience to the call you placed upon
His life. CHRIST IN US THE HOPE OF GLORY.
The Christian has a hope which is
Christ in us; it’s His Spirit which is not driven by the will of men but rather
by the will of God. Let us never forget this reality in our lives, blessed be
the name of Jesus now and forever more, Amen and Amen!
