Today's Reading:
I Peter 1:3-9
I love the power God supplies us through His word. As you read this passage it is overflowing with action and results. Verse 3 regenerates us with, "His great mercy results in our new birth in living hope," and verse 5 comforts us in God's care when it reminds us that, "through faith we are shielded by God's power." Verses 6 through 8 remind us to see the big heavenly picture: "In this we greatly rejoice as though we suffer grief in all trials which proves our faith genuine and results in praise, glory and honor when Christ is revealed."
The work has already been done by God. Our part is to embrace the power of Christ and spread the good news of His salvation to the world.
Because God has already done the work, we can embrace the comfort of knowing that He has it all under control. The Creator of the Universe who orchestrated every detail of our salvation holds our lives and plans in the palm of His almighty and powerful hands.
Ahhhh...I feel the comfort of not having to try to control it all. He has it all under control.
