Podcast 28.2 Transcript
Welcome to Thursday Thoughts at Resonant 7, where we reflect on the reality of God and resolve to let it resound in our lives, repeatedly. Let’s think about this.
When darkness veils His lovely face
He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son…Colossians 1:13 ESV
Whether spiritual or physical darkness ensues we can rest in the deliverance of our God. Even when we can not see Him we can rest in the fact that we are in HIs kingdom of light, no longer a kingdom of darkness. Ask Jesus to help you trust when you can not see His face.
I rest on His unchanging grace
Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Matthew 7:24 ESV
We rest by hearing and doing what Jesus taught us to do. We do not simply stop doing. Sometimes we must start doing, and keep doing. These actions will make us wise and help us to build the foundation of our faith on the solid rock of Jesus Christ. Are you resting today?
In ev’ry high and stormy gale
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. Matthew 7:25 ESV
The storms come into every life. They are unavoidable. Maybe you are experiencing some gale force winds upon your faith today. Fear not! If you have founded your life on the rock, you will stand. If you have not, better start today! Find out what Jesus said and do it. Then repeat.
My anchor holds within the veil
We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, Hebrews 6:19 ESV
There is an allusion here to the curtain of the Temple and the Holy of Holies, but remember, God tore that curtain when Jesus granted us access through His sacrifice. Even when storms come, we have a hope that overcomes. Thank God for being your anchor.
Take a few moments to talk to Jesus about what has come to your mind, or listen to what He is saying to you, then I will read our text once more, with the refrain
When darkness veils His lovely face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In ev’ry high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
Take the mindfulness of God’s presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond. Until next time,
Be Resonant.
