But a breath of vapor we are
Living each day depending on our Source
Like a tree drawing essential needs from the ground
In Him we move, live and find our being
By His mercy He forgives us
He does not draw His hand away from us
He is love, His self-restrain is supernatural
Even when we are unfaithful, He is faithful
Else we would die, and no one would remember us
Only by His grace we live
By His mercy we have been preserved
Each man has fallen short of standards He sets
Yet He sends help and redemption
Christ our hope, our righteousness, our redemption
He has fulfilled the Law
We died with Him We live with Him and in Him
We depend on Him completely
Only one man fulfilled the law and that was Jesus Christ
In Him I live , I take on His righteousness
He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, (Titus 3:5 NASB)
A God centered life
Observe a tree
Is the tree important? Yes
Which one is more important, the tree or the ground on which the tree grows?
The ground provides water minerals stability and room to grow. In Him we move live and find our being
It really isn’t all about the tree, in the same way it isn’t all about us
Our happiness or our delights. It’s all about Him
We are but characters in His book
It’s always been His story. In the beginning God… it started with Him it ends with Him (Won’t you please look at History…)
Dear Lord, help me to live a life that puts You in Your rightful place, You are the center of everything, You created the earth and the heavens, everything belongs to You. I belong to you. You are the center of my life. Thank you Jesus.
