Resurrection Power

“Of the kindness of the Lord the earth is full.” Psalm 33:5

Hallelujah! Jesus is risen! That miracle happened hundreds of years ago, of what possible consequence can that be for us? Because He lives, what may have been impossible is possible for us. It all depends on our faith. Like Mary Magdalen, if we look for Jesus early in the morning, we will find Him. After all, He said, “You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.”  (Jeremiah 29:13) God also promised, “For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Call upon me and I will hear you.” (Jer. 29:11-12)

Are we open to the possibilities, the opportunities the Lord offers to us with His Resurrection power? We are His children and He wants the very best for us, but sometimes we are too caught in a limited mindset. We are not good enough, we are not smart enough, we are not bright enough, to move forward, to move higher. We should see ourselves as God sees us. He said, “You are the apple of My eye!” (Psalm 17:8, Zech. 2:8) He loves us so very much He sent His Son to die for us. All of us, no exception, have an invisible crown on our head, because we are sons and daughters of the King of Kings. 

Let us not be like the man who bought a ticket to ride a ship from America to Europe. The man had scrimped and saved to buy the expensive fare, until finally he was able to make the trip which would take two weeks. All the while, he kept eating his hoard of dry crackers. All the other passengers had their meals in the dining room, feasting on good, delicious food. It was almost at the end of the trip that the poor man found out that all the meals were included in the price of the ticket! 

Let us be sure to find out what is included in the price of the ticket Jesus bought for us! Let us read the Bible, God’s love letter to us, to find the promises we can claim for ourselves. Let us be sure to know deep in our hearts how God sees us, and never again believe the enemy’s foolish lies. God has wonderful plans for us, much better than we could ever make for ourselves! Let us trust our Father and put our life in His hands!
