TREMENDOUS TRUTHS
“And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,” Ephesians 1:19-22
As I read these scriptures and the following comments by J. C. Philpot I was blessed. Yet I know some will read the same words as they would read a news article and then move on without their head, heart, or hands being moved. I hope that isn’t you. Please ponder every word and you will be blessed.
How vast, how numerous, how complicated are the various events and circumstances which attend the Christian here below, as he travels onward to his heavenly home!
But if all things are put under Jesus’ feet, there cannot be a single circumstance over which He has not supreme control. Everything in providence and everything in grace are alike subject to His disposal. There is not . . .
a trial,
a temptation,
an affliction of body or soul,
a loss,
a cross,
a painful bereavement,
a vexation,
a grief,
a disappointment,
a case, state or condition,
which is not put under Jesus’ feet.
He has sovereign, supreme disposal over all events and circumstances;
as possessed of infinite knowledge He sees them;
as possessed of infinite wisdom He can manage them; and
as possessed of infinite power He can dispose and direct them for our good and His own glory.
How much trouble and anxiety would we save ourselves, could we firmly believe, realize, and act on this!
If we could see by the eye of faith that . . .
every foe and every fear,
every difficulty and perplexity,
every trying or painful circumstance,
every looked for or unlooked for event,
every source of care, whether at present or in prospect,
are all at His sovereign disposal–what a load of anxiety and care would be often taken off our shoulders!”
“My times are in Your hands!” Psalm 31:15 Think about that!
