Our Times are in His Hands
Dearly beloved of God, our times are in His hands, therefore, we should have no fear; He is our Father.
“Fear not,” is His Word to us. God our Father is our sufficiency in all things. When we consider what God our Father has done for us in Christ, and who we are in him, what could we possibly fear?
Our standing before God is in Christ as members of his body. He has given us access to Him by the spirit from Him. He has completely filled us in Christ with what he accomplished; it is all of them in all of us who are members of his body.
Listen to the words that He Himself revealed to the Apostle Paul for us to know and believe.
In Christ God our Father has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm. In him, we are holy and without blame before Him. In love our Father determined beforehand for us to have sonship to Himself through Jesus Christ in accordance with the good pleasure of His unto the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He highly favored us in the beloved one, Jesus Christ.
In Christ we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of trespasses according to the riches of His grace, which He caused to abound to unto us.
With all wisdom and prudence He has made known to us the mystery of His Will in accordance with the good pleasure, which He Himself purposed in Christ, so that in the administration of the fulness of times He might bring all things together under one head in the Christ, that is, the things in heaven and the things upon the earth in him, the Christ.
In the Christ, we were also chosen, which was determined beforehand in accordance with the purpose of Him Who works all things according to the deliberation of His own will so that we who previously hoped in the Christ should be unto the praise of His glory.
In him, the Christ, you also, after you heard the word of the truth of the gospel of your salvation, having also believed in him, were sealed with the holy spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the acquisition, unto the praise of His glory.
Read Ephesians; this is only part of chapter 1, dearly beloved of God. This revelation is your Father’s heart laid bare for His children’s believing and understanding.
The Creator of the heavens and earth, the God of heaven and earth, the Almighty God, the One True and Living God is God our Father!
He determined the purpose of the ages which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. In him, we have boldness and access to the Father with confidence through the right way of believing in him [Christ].
Oh rejoice, and live with thanksgiving in your heart for His great love, mercy, and grace He has shown us in Christ! It will take Him the ages to come to display the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
Forget about this evil world and be filled with the knowledge of His Will; He will fulfill every jot and tittle of it, dearly beloved. What is there to fear? Our Lord has even conquered death, and our victory is in his victory, dearly beloved.
Go, stand, and speak His Word to those who have not heard. You speak for your Father and your Lord Jesus Christ. You have the words of this life so give the word of life to those in need. Who else does He have to speak for Him in this evil age.
He will lead you to those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. Walk with Him dearly beloved. What else do we have to live for? We are His and He is ours; we are His dearly beloved, and highly favored children. All things are yours in Christ Jesus our Lord, so let the redeemed of the Lord say so.
Our times are in His hands, and His Will shall be done, so fear not. Only take Him at His Word and continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of His Will; it is only thing that will make a difference in these times.
Lift up your head; Christ is coming! Until then walk as the child of God you are; you are His beloved, and He is always present and accessible to you. There is nothing to fear.
