Through our faith in the sin atoning death sacrifice of Christ, we have been declared righteous in Our Father’s eyes.
Nothing is lacking.
We have satisfied his requirement for right standing in his presence.
Now, we must hold on to our faith until the end. If we do, there will be a great celebration throughout the corridors of heaven.
The temptation is to give in to our fears and start a desperate search for another source of strength and power.
There is none.
“We will stand by our faith, or we won’t stand at all,” – Isaiah 7:9.
“‘Not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit’, says the Lord of hosts,” – Zechariah 4:6.
Everything that our eyes see can tempt us to try to rely on our own strength instead of waiting on the Lord to deliver us.
Everything that our heart knows tells us that Our Father is trustworthy.
So, we must trust our Spirit inspired heart and not our fear inspired sight.
This is our mandate; these are our marching orders. This is how we will please Our Heavenly Father and prosper in this life. This is how we lay up treasure in heaven.
