To often I forget about the big picture. I pursue so many endeavors and I get caught up in all the challenges that I face. I loose sight of the superiority of Christ when compared to all my other pursuits. But why is it difficult to find peace, that I know should be there, knowing that Christ is my mediator who makes things right between me and God (1 Timothy 2:5)? Why is that not soul satisfying? There is truly nothing greater than Christ, I know in my head, but how does that fact work out into my heart?
God calls Jesus his son. Through Christ I know that we are sons of God (Galatians 3:26), but it seems I don’t know what that fully means. Perhaps the angels will help me (Hebrews 1:14).
God, help me to fully grasp in my heart what it is to say that Christ is superior of all things, that Christ is above my challenges, that Christ is above my pursuits. Help me to understand deeper in my heart the significance of being your son. I desire to feel it. I desire to embrace it. I’m tired of just knowing it. Amen.

I often consider that God led the Israelites with a pillar of fire, parts the Red Sea, etc…but how often they soon forgot what He had done for them. I'm pushing this week to get back into reading and meditating. Thanks for blogging on this…
I hear you on that one…
I'm doing a little experiment on blogging my private devotions with only God as my "audience"…we'll see what happens!
