MORNING MANNA         11-16-21

I am amazed that people can read those words without being amazed. They read them and move on without giving them a second glance. It’s as though they think “That’s nice”, but they fail to grasp the significance of the statement. If ever they do it will change their attitude and outlook on life forever.

Think about it. The One who created all things, controls all things, was crucified, and conquered death, hell, and the grave is actually living in every Christian! That’s why we speak about having a “personal relationship” with Christ. Salvation is more than giving your mental assent to historical facts. It is even more than Christ giving you something, or you trying to give Him something. It is Christ dwelling in you! He gave His life for you on the cross, but He gives Himself to you by dwelling in you . Spiritually He is your life and hope of glory.

No mind can comprehend or explain this great truth, but we can rejoice in it as a fact and rest in peace knowing it is true. Wherever we are and whatever is happening to us, He is with us, in us, and for us. We can’t fully understand it, but we can believe it, appreciate it, and thank God for it. With Him within no challenge is too great, no burden is too heavy, no enemy is too fierce, and no need is too vast, but what our needs can be met. He makes all things possible! As Paul said, “we are more than conquerors through him that loved us” (Rom. 8:37). The old song is really true, there is “Victory in Jesus”.
