The church is not a mere club. The church can set captives free, those who trust in God will never be put to shame. The weary run to Him and He gives them strength and He increases the power of the weak. He renews the strength of those who hope in Him. Then they are able to mount on wings like eagles and fly high no matter how strong the winds that come against them.
The church needs to find rest only in the Lord. Trust in Him for the big things and also trust Him for the small things. What every man requires is God’s grace. When grace shows up, little becomes much, the weak become strong and mighty, useless things become the most useful, foolishness becomes wisdom, failure is transformed into success, sin becomes righteousness , poverty is transformed into riches and the defeated become more than conquerors.
Ooh how great is the love of God, for when we know how wide and how long, how high and how deep the love of God is, then the fullness of God is deposited in us. For in Christ the fullness of God dwelt in bodily form and when Christ dwells in us by faith, we receive fullness who is head over every power and authority. Who then can scare us? Who can take away our peace? Who can deny us what belongs to us? Ooh the love of God, if only every defeated soul could endeavor to be rooted in Christ, what a rest that could be.
I pray that you will find your salvation, your redemption, even your rest, and ultimately eternal life in Christ.
God bless you.
