Are you ready for the great things that are headed our way or are you spending your days being concerned with the circumstances and revealed struggles before you? Have you learned to dance with joy at the pain you are graced to experience, as it tests, grows and prepares you for the Great Day of the Lord’s Coming and the time when you too will be filled with the powerful witness of the Holy Spirit of God? Do you rejoice in worship or cry in misery at the road that they Lord has lain before you in your fulfillment of his purpose and sanctification of this lifetime? Are you readying yourself or simply sitting around waiting, hoping and praying that the life you’ve been born to will somehow be transformed? Are you capturing all the joy that is abundantly flowing into your life by the Power of God or are you sitting and wallowing in misery that this life is not how you’ve expected or anticipated it should be?

What then is living for God, but simply walking the road that He lays out before each of us?  Are we meant for some type of reward, treasure, health, wealth great popularity or are we designed to bring Glory to Almighty God in our graceful method and volunteerism to the Life that He prepared for each of us? What is your destination? What is your objective for this life? Are you serving your own plan or have you come to know Christ and His Word in such a way that you know the majesty of the trials and tribulations set before you? Perhaps you have been given the greatest reward available in that you have been given trials, difficulties, pains, wounds and tribulation so great because the Lord will demonstrate His Glory uniquely through your overcoming those tremendous obstacles?  Can you imagine yourself blessed by troubles? The world would never have you think positively of your personal plight, they would call you foolish to rise above your pain and peril.  But won’t they be amazed at the power you have to overcome those obstacles and observe joy and abundant life in Christ?

What then are we being prepared for if not but for the revelation of God’s Glory in our adaptation to the trials of the life time? If we are to be witnesses, shepherds or examples of how to live in a way that places the onus upon the promises not upon the circumstances do we not then have to flow, change and adapt to those circumstances with a measure of victorious perspective upon our hearts and lips? How would the enemy prevail against Christians and Jews in the circumstance, of course by stealing our joy, which is how the Lord claimed he prowls about the Earth seeking to consume our joy. We were meant for great things, but those great things are not the things of our own wealth, glory, fame or imagination, they are the great things that come along with being the powerful witnesses for the Coming Kingdom of God in our testimony and witness for Christ the King. We will have power when the power will point to the revelation to the this world of the Glorious Creator of All Things.

I pray that our perspective our purpose and our power to prevail against all the obstacles set before us are firmly rooted in our faith upon the Promises of God. We are meant as the witnesses to set the road straight of the Glorious Appearing of Christ, that is a responsibility greater than any we could have been personally charged.  What a glorious day that day that Christ died with me upon that Cross and I was set free to become that which He designed for me from the beginning of time.  What a glorious day we face in the Glory of Almighty God revealed through each of us to a world that so desperately needs His Love. In Jesus name I love you.
