Perhaps many of us esteem acceptance more than we esteem redemption.

Be honest – what do you want from God? Or maybe this is a more provocative way of saying it: what kind of Messiah do you want Jesus to be?

Perhaps many of us crave success more than we crave redemption.

Perhaps many of us want control more than we want redemption.

Jesus rose to reign and that’s very good news right here, right now.

We have a tendency to preach to ourselves less than what the Bible says is true, especially in suffering.

He is right now harvesting the spoils of the victory of his life, death, and resurrection. That harvest is for you.

Christ's reign is not just your future hope; it is your hope, right here, right now. Yes, you serve a risen Savior, but it’s vital to remember that he is also a conquering King.

The choices you make and the direction your life takes is always shaped by what you treasure.

If the eyes of your heart are filled with a vision for earthly, temporary, material God-replacements, your life will be lived in pursuit of those treasures that don’t satisfy. But if the eyes of your heart are filled with a vision for God, it will change everything. What a gorgeous thing to pray for, and to sing aloud, that no one else but God would be the only One who fills the vision of the eyes of my heart, from morning to evening.

There is never a moment when your Heavenly Father loses track of you.

Will you remember to remember the generosity of God? Remembrance produces upward worship, inward humility, and outward generosity. Give thanks, be humble, and be generous, because the blessings you receive from the Lord are not what you deserve.

As children of God, we can rest because our hope is not in the mountains. Our hope is not in the seas. Our hope is not in a comfortable life and a predictable schedule. Our hope is in the Lord, the Creator and Ruler over the mountains and the seas, and our Father, the God of Jacob, who is our fortress. (Psalm 46:11)

All the events in history, all the twists and turns of your individual story, every situation, location, and relationship you would ever find yourself in, all sit under the wise and holy rulership of the Lord. This is why we can be still.

Our hope is in the Lord. “He is on your side; leave to your God to order and provide.”

There is no need to panic when you’ve hit the wall of your limits if grace has eternally connected you to the Lord’s limitless resources of help and strength.
