Happy Good Friday
What a strange season we are in. A very difficult season leading many to question the love and power of God. Thinking about this season I was reminded of the verse in the bible that says Faith is the “evidence of the unseen”. I asked God to help me walk in faith in spite of all I see. I asked Him to give me courage to walk in the truth I know even if I do not see it with the naked eye.
While at that I found myself encouraging my heart to remember that while all that is seen through the naked eye right now is death, sickness, desperation due to Covid 19, unemployment and declining economies of the world I know better.
I know that the bible calls His beloved a “royal priesthood” and “chosen generation”. Whose good works have been predetermined ahead of time. I know that the bible says when I come to Him and believe in Him, I become new, old things pass away and I have been given power to walk burden free. I know that the bible says that through Christ I have become a child of God and I can cry out Abba Father. And I know that He is just not any father, but He is a Good, Good Father. In the midst of this trial, I have a Good, Good father on my side. He is for me and not against me.
I know that nothing can separate me from His love, not even Covid-19, absolutely nothing. I know that instead of worrying about anything I am called to pray about everything, making my requests known to God.
I know that even if I am not surrounded by a congregation of people as I normally would on good Friday, my positioning in Christ has not changed. I am sited at the right hand of the father. I am sited with Christ in heavenly places. A place of authority, which does not shift simply because I could not meet in a church building.
I know that I can approach the throne of grace with boldness, knowing that God will hear me and answer me. So wherever you are I just wanted to take this moment and encourage you to cling to what you know to be true about Who He is in your life. It may not make sense right now, but choose to walk in truth, rather than your feelings.
Let the truth you know about Who Christ is in your life, lead your feelings and not the other way round. Even if it does not feel like it is a good Friday.
Happy Good Friday
