Jesus lives.  What a statement.  A living God, who having experienced our pain, joy, love and ills of life now resides in all of us changing, supporting and empowering us to make it through trials to triumph.  When you consider your burdens what does that relationship do for you?  Are you constantly worried, sleeping poorly, malnourished and disgruntled over the things you are currently facing or does the knowledge that Christ Lives in you bring you an inexplicable peace?  Which is it?  As in most principles of the Bible there are only two sides, unlike this vacillating world with its movable lines of tolerance and morality there is no middle ground.  You either trust in and put your hope in Christ or you trust something else whether that be yourself, luck, chance or some other form of support.

If you do not believe and know that Christ is your sustaining hope and put your reliance on the immovable promises of God then you really should have that talk with yourself about salvation.  If you know about Christ but do not have a relationship with Him that sustains you in good times and bad then you really should have a conversation with Him about coming into your life.  If you find yourself relying on your own abilities to make it passed the next obstacle or dilemma, then you really should have a conversation with God about repentance for the sin of unbelief.  Either what the Bible says about Christ is true or it isn’t.  If it is true then we are commanded to rely upon Him always and cast our cares and concerns upon Him being sustained by His Divine Promises.  Again there is no middle ground.  Sure, all of us go through sanctification, trials, testing, stretching and discipline meant to strengthen our faith.  There will always be moments when you have to reach out to God in prayer and question to replace your upset with peace, but that should not be the norm.  At some point we have to turn our knowledge into belief and our belief in faith.

God is what He said that He is and He shall never change.  Doesn’t that give you a Hopeful foundation upon which to build your house?  Tie your boat to the cornerstone, the immovable anchor of Jesus Christ the King.  Then and only then will you find the sustaining hope to assure that you shall not be moved.
