Samuel Rutherford wrote
“When we know where we’re headed we shouldn’t worry about our limp”
Keep moving forward step by step
We go up by faith daily and see the place Christ is preparing for us.
Look through all our Father’s
rooms in heaven.
In our Father’s house are many dwelling places.”
When we purchase a place we shop first, we’re looking before we buy
But Christ has purchased for us already a mansion in His ivory
Palaces
But He asks us to come and see,
by faith,
See the mansions prepared
See the person who made them
See the work He’s done
See the costs He’s paid
for our new place
We go and see as often as we want
A. B. SIMPSON notes
“Faith doesn’t concern itself
with our limitations”
Faith doesn’t worry over obstacles
Faith let’s Jesus live through our handicaps
Faith let’s Jesus use our pain
Faith sees Jesus in the places He
has us in
It’s not about what we are in ourselves
It’s about who we are in Jesus
“God reveals what a great God
He is for us.”
He asks us to open our eyes to see Him in everything…
The more we get from God,
the bigger beggars we are
And the greater our Father is
in all He provides
We’re to see His hand of provision
He’s opened His hand with gifts
Our Lord puts us in a position
where we have to take everything from His resources
God is disappointed
when we fail to do so.
