Let’s pause a moment and think about the upcoming Christmas season, where we recognize what Jesus Christ birthed into humanity in His first coming, and what will be brought to its highest expression at His second coming: hope, love, joy, and peace for all who follow Him. As disciples of Christ we are called to be people of truth. We must live His truth. To live the truth is to be the face of Jesus, through whom the glory of the gospel is revealed to blinded minds. People will see truth in the faces of those who live their lives bearing witness to Jesus, in faithfulness and love.

Ezekiel was sent and set by God in the valley of dry bones. The same is true for God’s children today. {tweetme}He sends us and places us in dead, dry places. Our mandate, as His disciples, is to be light and to speak life into the dead, dry, defeated and forgotten.{/tweetme} We are set in forgotten about places in order to breathe life and to bring order into chaos and disfunction. God has anointed our hands to build and God has given us the grace to help others build. The gifts, talents, and abilities that He has placed on the inside of you are not only for your benefit and self exaltation — the gifts and talents that are buried inside of you are to be used to glorify God and carry the message of salvation.

He will lift you back up so you are above the stormy sea once again. {/tweetme}

Lets be bold, lets start thanking God in prayer for people who are in our lives, and those who are maybe just on the fringe of our life but are deeply involved in the lives of those we love.

We don’t need to bury our anxiety. These days we are in are reminding us all of the things that have always been true: something is wrong with the world and we are not in control. But we do know the one who is. God. He is not surprised by this virus. He is not panicking. Not one atom is outside of His control.

REST, not sleep, or take a nap, although refreshing and necessary, rest as in stop, sit with Jesus, have a conversation about what God has in His heart for you. What the Lord’s path is as we live through His purpose for mankind. Rest in His covering, breathe deep, welcome instruction, rest in His unending grace and steadying fortitude.

Rejoicing, praying, and expressing gratitude is easy to do when life is going smoothly, but what about when we are struggling just to get a foot out the door?

And those are all the right reasons to worship with love in our hearts and rejoice in Him.

When we speak life using the Words of the Lord, we are not speaking from our own authority. We are speaking directly from the authority of God. His Word travels through us, unto the world. We are merely the messenger, He is the author. Pause and rethink what you were about to say when the waiter got your order wrong. Use words to explain, words to encourage, with understanding, speak life.

These two men, crucified alongside Jesus Christ, are the choice of humanity manifested in two broken sin filled men. One chooses to walk away from God. One chooses to repent and surrender to Jesus Christ.

What is salvation? Not so Simply put, salvation means that we have been saved from the wrath of God, saved, delivered, from the result of our sin—Salvation is possible because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, crucified. It is the conclusion of a Christian’s conversion process. It is a fair question to ask, when we are left wondering, “How was I saved when I didn’t “do” anything great or good to be saved?” But my friends, the very fact that He wants us saved is a beautiful part of salvation. We don’t earn it nor deserve it yet our gracious, magnificent God freely offers salvation to all and freely gives it to those who declare Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.

God alone can give us the strength and endurance for a flourishing life. When we are tired, His firm arms will scoop us up and breathe fresh life into those bones. When we are too battered to take one more step forward, His wellspring of life rises up and fills us once again.

How bewildering to learn that Christ does not get flustered and frustrated when we come to Him for fresh forgiveness, for renewed pardon, with distress and need and emptiness. That’s the whole point. The need for salvation, rescue of humanity. It’s what He came to heal. He went down into the horror of death and plunged out through the other side in order to provide a limitless supply of mercy and grace to His people. Hallelujah!
