"For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich."
II Corinthians 8:9
It is well past time for Christians to approach each and every day with an excitement. It seems most believers live far too often in the land of frustration instead of in the courts of anticipation. Instead of living empowered lives we walk around as a punching bag for the devil and the world to pound on. Dear believer, you should be living in victory in Christ Jesus. You should be anticipating what God will be saying to you through His Word. You should be expecting the Holy Spirit to do a powerful work in and through you today for God's glory and for the good of those around you.
Yes, sin came in, but Christ came down. What grace! What goodness! What a Saviour! The Lord Jesus Christ came down from on high and won the greatest victory in all of history. The NFL, NBA and the NCAA have never known such a victory. We are rich indeed! Calvary was a battle ground and Christ was victorious over hell, sin and the grave. Those are shoutin’ words! Allow these words to be hallelujah fuel for your spiritual tank, "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:6-8.) If that doesn't light a fire in your heart and make you want to shout you might want to read it again and allow the Holy Spirit to illuminate such wonderful and powerful truth.
For the born-again our excitement is not based upon mere emotion it is based and built upon our unchanging Saviour and His enduring Word. Drink deep and long from our verse today. Get excited and live in anticipation of what God will be doing throughout your day.
