Psalm 121:1 I look up to the mountains-does my help come from there? v.2. My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!
Do you need help today? Do you ever get bogged down by the things happening around you? I know I do and that is when we have to read the Word and get a heavenly perspective on things.
Ephesians 2:6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
This past winter has been a very 'muddy' winter. Everywhere we've walked we've needed our boots on because of all the mud to squelch through and when we get home the mud has stuck to us and we have to scrape it all off before we go out again!
Life is a bit like that too! For some, the past few weeks or months have been very 'muddy' and we've felt we've been in the mire but we have a God who says He takes us out of the miry clay and puts our feet on the rock. Our rock is Jesus and yes we all get 'muddy' when we go out into the world but we know we can come to Jesus any time and let Him wash us off and let us know we're still seated in Him beside the Father in heaven. Scripture says it is His Blood that cleanses us of sin and His Word that washes us off day by day. I think it's a bit like one of those power washers you see turned on full power to get rid of our mud sometimes don't you?
Does it feel like we're seated in heavenly places just now? Very often not and that is when we have to take it by faith. It always seems to come back to faith doesn't it? But if we'll realise the truth that we're seated 'above' everything happening around us we'll have a different perspective and it wont get us down so much. We'll remember that Jesus has given us the victory and the enemy is defeated beneath our feet. I think we should do some scraping off of the enemy, get him off our boots as it were!
Lord help us have a heavenly perspective today, to remember You have given us the victory over all the works of the enemy, we are 'above' and not beneath the circumstances and that Your word cleanses us of all the mud we have to wade through in life. Amen.
