“While it looks like things are out of control, behind the scenes there is a God Who hasn’t surrendered His Authority. A. W. Tozer
Rulership Of Love
This is our reality of truth that leans us into preparation without panic or fear, as we face the unknown. Yes, joyfully so, the cool thing about our AWE-GOD is His is a “Rulership Of Love” and this abundant love saturates His every heart motive and action towards us. He is for us. Always. On this day, we get our strength from the joy of our heart to heart relationship with God. We have a living hope.
The Lord looks over us from where he rules in heaven. Gazing into every heart from his lofty dwelling place, he observes all the peoples of the earth. The Creator of our hearts considers and examines everything we do. Even if a king has the best-equipped army, it would never be enough to save him. Even if the best warrior went to battle, he could not be saved simply by his strength alone. Human strength and the weapons of man are false hopes for victory; they may seem mighty but they will always disappoint. The eyes of the Lord are upon even the weakest worshipers who love him—those who wait in hope and expectation for the strong, steady love of God. God will deliver them from death, even the certain death of famine, with no one to help. The Lord alone is our radiant hope and we trust in him with all our hearts. His wrap-around presence will strengthen us. As we trust, we rejoice with an uncontained joy flowing from Yahweh! Let your love and steadfast kindness overshadow us continually, for we trust and we wait upon you! Psalm 33:15-22 TPT
Panicked Minds
“What If” is the prevalent question of the day and the answer is coming out from all directions of mediatic frenzy, creating a human reaction which can be a very impulsive, fear-driven action by a panicked mind. Hope and joy amidst all this unclear speculation, is fed by the truth we know. The very present reality of truth is that our governing human authority, with their reactive protections can socially isolate us from each other. Why? Because of a lack of facts about an unknown threat, they disrupt people to people connection and that leaves us with loneliness during a time when we need other people. These are times we need to dig deeper and cling to our living hope, Jesus, Who is our enough. Remember, social distancing can never isolate us from our heart to heart connection with God, and His truth. When we know no power higher than ourselves, we govern ourselves impulsively, we react and sometimes that reaction is out of fear and it is burdensome, but when we turn to God, we respond out of His Wisdom and by faith in Him, we know the strength of a living hope.
Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen. 2 This testimony of faith is what previous generations were commended for. 3 Faith empowers us to see that the universe was created and beautifully coordinated by the power of God’s words! He spoke and the invisible realm gave birth to all that is seen. Hebrews 11:1-3
Navigated By God
The very cool and calming thing about our AWE-GOD is HIS is a “Rulership Of Love” and this abundant love saturates His every heart motive and action towards us. He is for us. Always. On this day we can connect heart to heart with God and be navigated through these uncharted waters by His reality of truth. We may feel isolated but we are never alone, we are never without God’s Presence, God’s Word. Loneliness may tempt our soul to despair, but the truth is loneliness does not have to be our reality, not so. Why? Because the reality of truth is that the love of God soul saturates us as we open our hearts wide to Him. Heart to Heart with God, this cures the pain of loneliness that we all are experiencing in times such as these and leaves us with a living hope.
The Mind Of Christ
God has asked us to obey the authority over us and when this authority is corrupted, it makes life hard. Sudden change to our life routines feels chaotic and scary, yet, our calm, our security, our identity is not rocked because we know whatever outcome those in authority over us are trying to achieve in their human doings, the endgame of Jesus Christ, remains the same for us. We will never be forsaken to the wiles of our enemy. Wait on God. Trust God. We have a stable future and a hope, it is not changeable and it is imperishable. No human being, even in their stupidest decisions made out of the corruptness of their human nature, can change up our God given destiny. Believing this Kingdom Actuality, responding out of this reality of truth, this is where joy in this human conditioned chaos springs forth from. We can have joy on this day when pandemonium drives our human conditioned fear to an overwhelming panic. We can choose JOY, it is our strength to grow through all human nonsense, day to day with a living hope, and in our right minds, the mind of Christ. This is a choice not directed by human authority, but by the allowing the Rulership of Christ Jesus to soul saturate us with His Infinite love. Listen Up ~ Look Up!
Intentionally Kingdom Cultured
Our human nature wants more, it is never satisfied. If we have what we need, we still pursue more, this is our human condition. God wants us to learn to live with less of this world, more of Him. Our satisfaction has been human conditioned by our culture. God is teaching us to be intentionally kingdom cultured. This is a discipline we will learn in the days ahead as we choose the choice of connecting with God heart to heart, nourishing our soul with His Word and walking in step with His Living Hope. This is a choice the government does not or will never control, we will always have the choice of a vital-vertical relationship with God, where we are not isolated, where we chose to act out of a kingdom perspective and where we are up close and personal with God, experiencing His living hope as our strong foundation in a shaky world.
Invest In God’s Promises
Instead of fearing the infection of sickness, we should spend our time wisely, investing in the Promises of God. This keeps us in our right mind and helps us to live with the common sense reality of truth, instead of being pushed, poked and prodded by impulsive reactive fear. The best adjustment we can make is putting our identity wholly-holy in God. He is so worthy of this decision by us. He is faithful, trustworthy and the only ONE Who knows all. Yes, God knows the outcome, the final word is His. Our God, Who was, is, and has been, from the beginning and will be for all eternity, we let him fuel our living hope at times like these. When you are fighting an enemy that exhausts all human defenses, remember Who God is and feed Your soul with His Promises.
You crushed the strongholds of Egypt and all your enemies were scattered at the mighty display of your glory-power. All the heavens and everything on earth belong to you, for you are the Creator of all that is seen and unseen. The four corners of the earth were put in place by you. You made the majestic mountains that are still shouting their praises to your name. Breathtaking and awesome is your power! Astounding and unbelievable is your might and strength when it goes on display! Psalm 89:10-13 The Passion Translation
