"Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God - through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 7:25).
"Fortunately, this is where my view of God is deeply flawed. God 'knows our frame: He remembers we are dust" (Psalm 103:14). He knows we are weak, gravitating towards the self-destructive habits and wallowing in our sin. Because the death of Jesus has delivered us from this body of death, God clothes us in a righteousness found in His Son and thereby looks at us in an expression of unconditional love, complete acceptance, unwavering mercy, even rejoicing over us as His children - once lost, but now forever found" (Margaret Pope).
This is the reflection we all so deeply need - it is that you and I, at any time, can come to the highest throne and find it to be a seat of total goodness and care for us, because it is occupied by a King who reigned first upon a cruel cross to deal with our iniquity and heal us from such disease.
Take a moment today to reflect and relax within that everlasting care.
