He's In Control -- So Rest in Him!

"The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool." (Psalm 110: 1)

This same verse Jesus quoted during His ministry on earth, and Peter referred to this witness on the Day of Pentecost. Even the writer of Hebrews cites this powerful truth.

Now, we are in Christ (Romans 6: 8), and in Christ we are seated in heavenly places (Ephesians 2: 6).

Since as Christ is, so are we in this world (1  John 4: 17), we can reap the reward of this telling promise. All of our enemies are being brought under our feet in Christ!

We are not called to put out the fires, solve the problems, take down the enemies. We have one calling:

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matthew 6: 33)

In receiving His gift of righteousness every day (Romans 5: 17), we are transformed from glory to glory (2 Corinthians 3: 18), for in Christ we are both kings and priests (1 Peter 2: 9)

The same Jesus who holds the entire universe and everything in it (Colossians 1: 18) holds you and me:

"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." (John 10: 28)

He has given you life, and in Christ you receive all things with Him (Romans 8: 31-32)

He's in control -- so rest in Him!
