To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled,
and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith
unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. (1
Peter 1:4-5)
Slow down.
Take a deep breath. Relax. Rest.
Cease striving. Let go. Stop worrying.
If you’re like me, those words are music
to your ears. But they are much easier
to read in a blog than live out in our day to day frantic lifestyle.
But if we can grab a hold of five little
words in the above verse, we will find the power we need to live such a life.
“Kept by the power of God” is a promise to
every child of God.
When we can grab a hold of that truth, we
understand that our lives are not dependent on our ability to hold onto God,
but on His ability to hold onto us.
That takes immense pressure off us to
constantly “perform” to stay in relationship with God. The striving ceases and rest comes because we
know that we are securely in His grip and He will never let us go.
Can you imagine any force strong enough to
pry open His hand and snatch you out of it?
I pray God will give you rest this week
from your striving and endless activity.
I pray that God will give you a revelation that you are kept by His power
for all eternity to enjoy an inheritance reserved for you that will never
become defiled or fade away.
