Good morning.
Imagine that you’ve saved for a long time to take a cruise. At last, you’re aboard with two carefully packed suitcases. The first evening, when “Dinner is served” is announced over the loudspeaker, you grab some salticrax, marmite and cheese from your suitcase and sit at the table in your small cabin. Every day at mealtime, you repeat the ritual. It isn’t that you don’t like the ship’s tasty banquets. You simply don’t know that meals are included in the ticket price. For the duration of the cruise you enjoy beautiful scenery off the decks but eat dry, stale food in your cabin.
This sad story is a metaphor for how some believers live the Christian life. God has promised to meet every need of His children. Yet many of us are trying to live out of our own resources. We don’t know that the bounty of God’s love, power, and provision is on the menu.
As followers of Christ our relationship with Jesus is one of complete unity. He is our life, and His Spirit lives through us. Everything that is available to the Lord is also available to us.
"I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people." (Ephesians 1:18)
Blessings.
Mike and Daphne
