Listen "Resting Place - Track 3"
Episode Synopsis
2 Tim 2:19
Though you see many things that might make you despair, when you indulge your woes and listen to your fears, and when your faults and failings shout aloud from the roof tops,
and your senses are inclined to shrink in the face of all these discouragements,
never forfeit the godly foundations I have procured for You:
My arms beneath and My throne above undergirds all.
There can no more be any such thing as ‘salvation by worry’ than there could be ‘salvation by works alone’. The fairest fruit comes when you admit your helplessness and look away to Me.
How can you truly be free in My presence if you fix your eyes on earthly things and seek honour praise and approval more from one another than from Me? (John 3:12, 5:44)
The believer:
From heaven you make us hear Your voice to discipline us. (Deut. 5:24, 4:12, 36) You truly give and take away: blessed be Your name. (Job 9:12)
Many plans occupy our hearts and minds: but may Your purposes alone prevail (Prov. 19:21).
The Lord
I am the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; and the key to this treasure is to be found by pressing in and onward to know still more of Me as I work all things together according to the counsel of My will, on behalf of those whom I have chosen from before the beginning of time itself. (Eph. 1:11)
My foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: ‘I know those who are Mine – and everyone who confesses My name must turn away from wickedness.’ (2 Tim, 2:19) Those who believe and trust in the precious cornerstone of Christ need never be disturbed nor give way (Is. 28:16).
