Don’t stick yourself up to your miseries!!!

  • “The enemy has spread out his hand upon all her desirable things; for she has seen the nations enter her holy place, whom You commanded that they should not enter into Your congregation.” (Lamentations 1.10).

How many times we are harping on about our material losses. However, did you think over about the greatness that Jesus conquered for us (meditate on Luke 6.38)? Look on the size of the New Jerusalem:

  • “And the city lies four-square, and the length is as large as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand stadia. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.” (Revelation 21.16).

The size of the city is twelve thousand stadia, that is, its length, breadth and height are one hundred and eighty kilometers each, made of only of precious stones. We are so used to living on our miseries that for us this feels like something very good to be truth. Nevertheless, this serves for us to see the magnificence of what Jesus did for us. His work in us and through us, as said in Ephesians 3.20, exceeds abundantly above all that we ask or think (1Co 2.9).

How many times we buttress a berserk demeanor, trying to compel people to guarantee what appears to be ours. In this wrangle, we wrap up having to parry attacks, to streak despaired through the thoroughfares, always arousing feuds. And the worst is that, many times, we go off Jesus Christ, thinking that He isn’t take into consideration our flimsy state.

Notwithstanding, what did Paul say?

  • “But my God shall supply all your need according to *His riches* in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4.19).

Do you know one of the reasons because our prayers aren’t attended? Because our prayer show skepticism (Matthew 21.22; Mark 11.24). Understand: Jesus bless us in according to His riches (and not pursuant to our miseries). We lay down all His riches only for the taste of see the blaggard undergo a terrible ordeal or nemesis.

So, don’t disparage the love of Jesus for you. Forgive and lay down the lost boons so that you are sufficiently light to fly into the heavenly blessings (Ephesians 2.6; 2Peter 1.3) and have an incredible day:

  • “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ;” (Ephesians 1.3).
