Podcast 28.3 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.
His oath His covenant His blood
Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant. Hebrews 9:15 ESV
What He has said, what He has promised and what He has assured with His death changes everything. This includes all of the overwhelming circumstances we face, but certainly our end and the end of all things. Rejoice that you are called to receive the promised eternal inheritance
Support me in the whelming flood
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 ESV
There are any number of situations that evoke fear in us and cause us to be dismayed. God promises to support us with His very presence to strengthen, help and uphold us when those situations are simply more than we can bear. Thank Him for being your God.
When all around my soul gives way
Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Psalm 42:11a ESV
Stop for a moment and think about a time when it seemed as though everything around your soul was giving away. We have all experienced those disorienting times when turmoil plagued our souls. Did you turn to God then? Are you ready to turn to God the next time?
He then is all my hope and stay
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God. Psalm 42:11b ESV
We can turn to Him in the most dire of dilemmas and find hope in Him even then. As you wait for the next one to come, are you committed now to praising Him even when it does? He is and will be your salvation. You simply have to trust in Him, placing all your hope in God.
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.
His oath His covenant His blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay
Take the mindfulness of God’s presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond. Until next time, be Be Resonant.
