"A Whole New Day"

"Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul." (Psalms 54:4) What do you think would happen if everyone that was a Christian did everything just the way Jesus would do things? It might just turn the world upside down in no time at all; or at least it would sure stir things up a little; one thing for sure, it would sure set apart those that are His and those that are not. This is where this Psalm takes a turn towards heaven, which is exactly what each and every one of God's children need to do; we all need to look up and prepare to meet our KING! Yes, that's right, the KING is coming, we don't know when, but He is coming; which is why we need to be looking up in our hearts and minds; or as Paul put it, "For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven." This tabernacle that we are currently in is temporary, and it is fading away quickly, some more quickly than others; but God has prepared for us a new tabernacle which will not fade away, ever; one that will cloth us with His eternal light, which I believe that Adam and Eve were clothed with before the fall, which is why they did not know that they were naked until they ate of the fruit. Talk about a game changer, we have the best one of all! As quick as this Psalm changed from that of complaining and seeking, to that of praising and acknowledgement, so to is God's comfort and relief available to each and every one of His children; all it requires for us to do, is to take our eyes off our circumstance or issue, and to place them on the Lord. It really is that simple; it may not be easy, because every single thing around us will be pressing in, and every one that we know will be trying to convince us that it is not the way. Remember, David is writing this Psalm much later than this circumstance had taken place; maybe even twenty or thirty years later; but he had been given the chance to see God's protection upon his life, and to relate that to the fact that he was a child of promise; which is what each and every one of us that believe in Jesus are, we are children of promise... "We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then death worketh in us, but life in you. We have the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believe, and therefore I have spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; knowing that He which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through thanksgiving of many rebound to the glory of God." (2 Corinthians 4:8-15)
