Celebration of Life and Living

 


My mouth shall declare your justice, 
day by day your salvation. 
(Psalm 71:15)


God saves me day after day. Each day is a gift of life that only my Lord Jesus Christ can give. He is the very life that is in me and without Him, I will be dead and lifeless. Today, I humbly celebrate with the Lord the gift of life and living.

O God, you have taught me from my youth, and till the present I proclaim your wondrous deeds. - Psalm 71:17

The Lord Jesus works wonders over His life in me each passing day. His works speaks of who He is and regardless of what I do. I live to proclaim His glorious praise!

Only the Lord can give me the best of life in the world. He has been everything to me from day one. He has always been the source of all the good things that is happening to me. My complete trust and dependence on Him made it all possible for me to receive the abundance of His fullness and grace.

The glory of resurrection does not only come when a physical body dies. It is always there even at the time I was born. Resurrection is to be raised up from where I am to a higher plain. It is always accompanied by the breath of life and spirit that can only come from the Lord. He alone possess the saving power to raise me up from a lifeless situation into a fruitful and meaningful existence.

This day, the Lord sets me up to a higher plain in dealing with life's daily battles and challenges. There will always be oppositions and competitions but His will shall always prevail in the end. What is imperative is not to escape these seemingly obstacles or hindrances but rather face them head on with firm determination based on the solid foundation of truth and justice.

God wants us to be steadfast and courageous despite the challenges we will encounter. In our lives, we may face opposition, but we can trust God’s guidance and stand firm in our faith. As Christians, we may also be called to suffer for Christ’s sake.  Let us seek inner authenticity and trust God’s timing.
