It
really is remarkable that many folks, including Christians, are totally unaware
of anything that “Jesus has done in a person.”
Crazy, isn’t it? Salvation is by
God alone. Taking to Heaven is by God
alone. But, life here in between…?
DAY 215
Only
Trust What Jesus Has Done In a Person
I have been crucified
with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but
Christ lives in me; and
the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who
loved me and gave Himself up for me. --Galatians 2:20
Let me tell you a
secret about others. The only
measure of dependence you place on them should be on the things God has done in
them. Depend on
them for anything else and they will let you down. When we see strong
people, we have the tendency to want to trust them. However, if it is a fleshly strength that
we are trusting, then one day they will let us down. At times I have
told people of my strengths, my boldness, or my knowledge, and I have heard
others do it, as well. Such
talk is foolishness, for we are covertly asserting that we can be trusted,
followed, or listened to because of our strengths. This is proof
positive that we are not to be trusted. It is better to hear of someone’s many weaknesses and work
alongside that person, for in each place he is weak, he is reliant upon God’s
strength. If a
man tells me he was very critical until God worked in his heart, revealed his
own wickedness, and then lifted him up, I know that such a man is safe with my
problems; I will not receive judgment from such a one, I will receive grace.

“But, life here in between”…oh, wait, life with a small “l” is
flesh….Life with a capital “L” is Christ’s Life. And Michael specifically tells us “that” is
what we should only depend upon when looking to someone else. Well, amen!
May we Live His Life
here in between Salvation and Heaven, and only trust in His Life in
others. For instance, His Faith…
