Salvation

 

    Life has a lot of ups, downs, and surprises.  It runs in a monotone fashion for the most part, but elements are always things changing.  It can cause extreme emotions like joy or grief.  How do you find stability in this ever changing world?  Salvation is the only way to find continuous peace in your heart and soul.  He has proven this since the beginning of history.

    You are called to pursue righteousness and justice, but it is impossible if you don't understand what that means.  God is the teacher in His Word, but Jesus shows you and leads you.  You discover what is expected by seeking and listening to God.  He will look upon you with compassion.

    In life you can find joy and gladness through thanksgiving.  Sing out when the small things touch your heart and make you smile.  It will grow into something bigger.  Listen for God's voice in these moments.  Wait patiently because it can be a remarkable moment.  It can be the moment that He gives you hope.

    In Heaven, everything that happened here on Earth will fade.  Salvation is forever and His righteousness will never shatter.  This is a long time.  That means that you don't have to fear people because they can't take away your salvation.  Instead awaken your soul and seek His strength, so you can stand against oppression and evil.  You will only receive as much as you are willing to take.  

    Do not live in constant fear or terror.  It is crippling and a waste of energy.  Instead wake up and don't forget that God will give you the words to fight back.  When you are faint, He will console you.  He will fight for you.  He will unleash His wrath upon His enemies, which are your enemies.  He will fight your tormentor and provide you way through.  

    Find your salvation.  Find eternity of peace.  You can handle the pain for now because what is to come is so much better.  If you focus on the here and now, then all you may see is devastation, destruction, famine, and death.  There is only grief and torment if you turn your back on God.

Isaiah 51
