WE THE PEOPLE!
Ephesians 4:20 “That, however, is not the way of life you learned.” So often in this land of plenty, we still have an unquenchable desire for comfort and pleasure and rights. We, the people of the Kingdom of God, can get lost in these desires and forget that we were not invited into God’s Kingdom for these things. Instead we were invited to experience a freedom, a peace, a joy, that cannot be found in the things of this world. We were invited to experience HIM! But we forget. The media, the entertainment, even the grocery store tricks our souls into thinking wrongly. How then do we hold fast to the truth of our King? We, the people of the Kingdom of God meditate on His Word. We, the people of the Kingdom of God rest in His presence. We, the people of the Kingdom of God listen for His voice. And then We, the people of the Kingdom of God get up and do whatever He says again and again and again. We, the people lay down our plans and wishes and We, the people deliberately walk in His steps day after day after day. And We, the people of the Kingdom of God find that this is truly where our souls are filled, where “the things of earth become strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.” Please take time to read Ephesians 4:1-5:20 for a reminder of who We, the people of the Kingdom of God, are called to be. His, Holly Woodbridge
