WALK, SIT, STAND

2 Corinthians 6:16 NIV …As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.”

What a promise to take with us into each day! The God who raises the dead, who flung stars into space, the majestic King of Heaven, our Abba Father who loves us, He is walking with us wherever we go! He’s watching over us, keeping us on the straight and narrow, when our eyes are on Him. 

Sometimes when we go for a walk and the path narrows we follow the person in front and walk in their footsteps. In the same way God walks with us, but He also goes ahead of us, so we can follow where He leads. Isn’t that reassuring? He leads us in paths of righteousness, beside still waters and He lets us rest and feed in green pastures. Thank You Lord.😊

Ephesians 2:6 NLT For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus.

Then Paul reminds us we’re no longer earth bound but citizens of heaven, taken out of the kingdom of darkness and put in the kingdom of light of God’s dear Son. We are sitting with Jesus,  at the right hand of God. Our bodies may be experiencing earth, but our inner spirit is joined with Jesus so we can experience heaven as well. In one sense we are already there! Lord give us deeper revelation of being seated with Christ in heavenly places, seated in a place of victory.

2 Corinthians 1:24 NIV Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm.

Now because God is walking with us, because He has sat us down beside His throne with Jesus in a place of all authority and power, we can stand by faith in all that God has done for us in Jesus. We can stand on His promises because not one of them has failed. We can stand in the victory Jesus has won for us, and having done all stand with our armour on knowing who we are and whose we are. Hallelujah. 

Just in case we forget, wherever we go and whatever we have to do today, God is reminding us we are walking, sitting and standing with God each day. What a thought!😊 Thank You Jesus. Amen.
