What is it necessary to be saved (Part 32).
 
Carrying on to speak about our walking, l consider important to get together some of the previous requirements in our journey in this world.

•    “Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; Save me and I will be saved, For You are my praise. Look, they keep saying to me, “Where is the word of the Lord? Let it come now!” (Jeremiah 17:14).

Once Jesus is our defense, we ought to trust Him as our strength (Exo 15.2; Psalms 2.7; 18.1; 22.9), instead of venting our emotions:

•    “Then he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel saying, ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts.” (Zechariah 4:6).

After all, the Creator fight for us (Exo 14.14,25; Deit 1.30; 3.22; 20.4; Joshua 10.14,42; 23.3,10; 2Chr 20.17).

I know that, when we are undergoing some hot potato, our lean is don’t see everything under His control (Heb 2.8). Our propensity is to exert to sort out everything by ourselves. Notwithstanding, we need to believe in Romans 8.28 and procede like Habakkuk:

•    “Though the fig tree should not blossom And there be no fruit on the vines, Though the yield of the olive should fail And the fields produce no food, Though the flock should be cut off from the fold And there be no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will exult in the Lord, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.” (Habakkuk 3:17-18).

We need to find pleasure in the presence of Jesus, look on Him as our treasure (Psalms 16.5; 73.26), our reason of life, the motive of our elation (Gen 17.1; Phil 4.4; Psalms 37.4; Deut 28.47,48; Psalms 32.11; 33.1; 95.1; 100.1,2; Titus 3.7).

The true faith imply on walking in Him to be awarded (Hebrews 11.6) and supplied (Phil 4.19 – join with Phil 4.20). It is thus we glorify the Creator.

See how our concepts and values are twisted. We call a person like this as deceptive. Nonetheless, it is this kind of person that Jesus seeks: someone that has interest in His things.

The problem is that, unfortunately, the things that we have and what we carry out don't have anything to do with us. We don't consider making of everything in our life an art expression of what we are (or, to be more precisely, of what Jesus is in us).

If everything in our life brought glory to Jesus (allow Him to manifest His word, as we can see in Psalms 148.1-10; 150.6), until the robbery of something would be seen for us as an evangelism.

Mull over on this. Tomorrow we will keep on. Have a nice day in Christ Jesus.
