An Eternal Weight of Glory

The Inescapable God
God Protects

2 Corinthians 4:13-18 (The Message)
 ^13-15We're not keeping this quiet, not on your life. Just like the psalmist who wrote, "I believed it, so I said it," we say what we believe. And what we believe is that the One who raised up the Master Jesus will just as certainly raise us up with you, alive. Every detail works to your advantage and to God's glory: more and more grace, more and more people, more and more praise!
 ^16-18So we're not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There's far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can't see now will last forever.

For Reflection
How much more assurance of protection does one need?  Christ has lifted us up to the Father. We receive more and more grace.  Through us Grace finds root in all people.  The yoke is heavy but our burden is light. To what extent do you look beyond the urgent, to find fulfillment in Gods Hand?

Pray
that, like the psalmist, we say and do what we believe.  Pray that you live your life, aware of His unfolding grace.  Pray that you keep your eye on what is to come and aim your-self directly toward it.
