"That He Might Bring Us In, He Brought Us Out"

"He brought us out from there, that He might bring us in, to give us the land of which He swore to our fathers."  (Deut. 6:23)

"....He brought us out...that He might bring us in...."  This is a principle of life.  Everyone wants out of a bad situation and someone to "bring us in, to give us"---- something----- answers, remedies, anything; just fix it.  But what most refuse to accept is that in order for God to "bring us in," He must first bring "us out from there"---- "from" our ideas, our desires, our remedies, our everything.

Every day men and nations have the same choice.  Cling desperately to what they have, what they have created, their pleasures, their treasures, their wisdom and remedies, or, let go and grasp Jesus Christ, His "pleasures forevermore," His "treasure in Heaven," the gifts of His Holy Spirit, His "God-Breathed" Word------- His Cross.  The Principle of Life in this universe cries out, "Whoever desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me." 

For you and me, America, and the nations of the world in their turmoil, consider this remedy: "Deny... and... Follow."   

Father, in Jesus' Name, I say with the hymn writer, "All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His Blood."  Amen.
