How are we measuring the blessings of the Eternal in our lives? For His inheritance to us or for our losses?

How are we measuring the blessings of the Eternal in our lives? For His inheritance to us or for our losses?

•    “Jehovah has cast off His altar; He rejected His sanctuary; He has given up the walls of her palaces into the hater's hand. They gave a noise in the house of Jehovah, as a day of meeting.” (Lamentations 2.7).

Many times we harp on about our losses because we like to involve us on activities that outlay much money. However, recall that the righteous is like a oak (see Isaiah 61.3) whose roots yield its fruit (Proverbs 12.12).

Instead of sniveling what was cast off, rejected, given to the haters, look for finding out what Jesus has given to you and, chiefly, the alliance of the Creator with you (Psalms 25.14). Maybe your role in this world is to be repairer of breaches:

•    “And they that shall be of you shall build the old waste places: you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called, The *repairer of the breach*, The restorer of paths to dwell in.” (Isaiah 58.12).

•    “And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and *stand in the breach* before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.” (Ezekiel 22.30 - ESV).

Who knows the things don’t get right in your life because Jesus wishes to use your life in order to confirm, for example, what is, prophesied in:

•    “Jehovah shall cause your enemies that rise up against you to be stricken before your face. *They shall come out against you one way, and flee before you seven ways.*” (Deuteronomy 28.7).

•    “*for a just one falls seven times, and rises up again*; but the wicked shall fall into evil.” (Proverbs 24.16).

So, perhaps Jesus rose you to be pillar and foundation of the truth (1Timothy 3.15), that is to say, to be a example of forbearance and gusto in standing up and restarting how many times is necessary. Even if you aren’t able to wrap up anything in your life, what is important is that you never give in to the temptation, let alone give up of the fruit and gifts of the Holy Spirit and of abiding by the Word of Jesus Christ.

So, don’t live up to the expectations of your family, friends or of the world. Be happy, get around the hurdles wherewith you come across, make people around you more than conqueror in Christ Jesus (Romans 8.37) and don’t mind how many times you will need to get back to the outset. Remember that Jesus is, not only the beginning and the end, but also the WAY that lead the beginning to the end (John 14.6). And in a generation that only concern about denouements, to extol the WAY, that is, the will of Jesus to achieve the aftermath, is URGENT.

May Jesus bless us with all alacrity, strength, resources and wisdom to bring up His truth how many times is necessary.
