It's Always About Jesus

 

It's about JESUS ... IN THE TIME OF BLESSINGS

 

     Blessings come in many shapes and sizes but they all have one thing in common - they are about Jesus.  Spiritual blessings are indeed delightful to the child of God, but when you experience a blessing from Jesus it's important to remember that the blessing is not about the experience, but rather, about Jesus and how He is glorified in that blessings. 

It's about JESUS ... IN TIME OF TROUBLES

     It may be difficult to see or feel it at the time, but Jesus is near when we go through times of troubles.  What is even more difficult to comprehend is that Jesus can be glorified even though those troubles are the result of our own making.  We err from His ways and He is right there ready to forgive us the moment we ask to be forgiven!  In asking forgiveness we let go of the hold we think we have on the situation and in faith, we give complete control to Jesus.  It is when, in humility, we ask forgiveness that Jesus is glorified.

 

 

 

It's about JESUS ... IN ANSWERED PRAYER

 

     Every prayer a child of God prays is answered, but it's up to God whether the answer is yes, no, or wait.  Sometimes God will answer immediately and other times, far into the future.  The timing of answered prayer is up to God.  Can you think of a time when you prayed specifically for something and God specifically answered your prayer?  No doubt you felt elated that God saw fit to bring to pass what you prayed about.  In the elation, it's very easy to forget that our prayers are answered in order to bring honor and glory to the Lord.   Answered prayer has a two-fold purpose; first, it shows our dependence on God to meet our needs.  Secondly, and most importantly, answered prayer brings glory to Jesus as our Advocate, pleading our case before the Heavenly Father.  Notice that neither purpose has anything to do with our own honor or glory...

IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT JESUS!

Do you know a child of God that is always upbeat, with a smile on their face and encouraging words for others in spite of the fact their personal life is one heartache after another?  I believe the secret to their "peace in the midst of chaos" is that they have made a commitment to make everything in their life...

ALWAYS ABOUT JESUS! 

 

These Scriptures serve as a reminder to me that my life as a child of God should always be about how to please, honor and glorify Jesus.  I pray that they encourage you to be mindful to glorify Jesus' name in your daily walk with Him.

Blessings to you,
