"But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clan of Judah, out of you will come for Me One Who will be Ruler over Israel, Whose origins are from of old, from ancient times....And He will be our Peace." (Micah 5)
I am thankful that, "underneath are the Everlasting Arms," that the Living Triune God goes before us and comes behind us, that His hand is upon us. But because of the Blood of Jesus, the Blood of His Cross, The Eternal One now makes His abode IN us. As 1 Corinthians tells us, "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit?"
Then the Holy Spirit adds this: "You are not your own." Along with the great Indwelling, comes the great submission, surrender.
Father, in Jesus' Name, I so very much thank You that You live in me. Amen.
Hebrews 12:2
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
