Imagine the Peace We Have with This Type of Relationship!

Can you imagine the type of peace that David spoke about in Psalm 16 that was quoted by Peter in his writing of Acts 2? Friend, read carefully and meditate on these words spoken from a man of God so that we may be challenged even today. This takes an intimate, personal relationship with our God and a first-hand knowledge of His work in and through us. This takes prayer – our conversational tool with our Savior. This takes reading God’s Word – our tool for hearing what God responds to us on. This takes trust in the Maker and Master of this universe, and of you and I. This takes commitment to the Savior who loved us enough to have His beard plucked, who suffered humiliation before the hands of Herod and the people, who suffered pain and anguish as He was beaten, drug down the streets and crucified on a cruel cross, because He loved us and wanted to complete the Father’s wish for our salvation. Then, perhaps, we might have the audacity to claim faith in Christ like David quoted in the Psalm. Are you there friend, or are you like me and need to continue working on it? It’s worth it!

For David said about him: ‘I saw the Lord before me at all times; he is near me, and I will not be troubled. And so I am filled with gladness, and my words are full of joy. And I, mortal though I am, will rest assured in hope, because you will not abandon me in the world of the dead; you will not allow your faithful servant to rot in the grave. You have shown me the paths that lead to life, and your presence will fill me with joy.’
