What stones do you need rolled away? What do you need resurrected? During this time of Easter with reflection upon Christ and His sacrifice for us, we can be reminded that He overcame persecution and death. The same POWER that raised Him from that grave is in us, if we have asked Him to be Lord of our life. Let’s not be like the children of Israel who often forgot that God had rescued them and saved them with His power before, and yet they would complain and wonder how they would survive. Let us REMEMBER and go forward, knowing that God does not neglect us or forget us. As Romans 8:38-39 says, “Nothing can separate us from the love of God.” Jesus even tells us in John 14:12 that: “Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these.”
Let us first identify the stones in our life, whether they are issues with family, schoolmates, coworkers, finances, stress, anxiety or medical concerns. Next, have faith that God is able. He is the overcomer, the all-powerful and our Redeemer. Come to Him, call upon Him and receive His peace. Rely on His strength and His promises. He truly does: ”Work all things out for our good, to those who trust in Him.” Romans 8:28 He looks after us: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11. God cares for us as Matthew 6 tells us: “Do not be anxious about your life… look at the birds of the air, they neither sow nor reap or gather into barns and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? …But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow.” The Bible is God’s word, His words, and yes His promises to us. The more I read them the more secure I am in my faith and in the God of Heaven. Take time to read and reflect, and let His truths bring you joy and peace as you wait for the stone to be rolled away.
Blessings,
