Unmoved

  These have turned the world upside down.… None of these things move me

        Acts 17:6; Acts 20:24

The men that move the world are the ones who do not let the world move them.

Samuel G. Hardman and Dwight Lyman Moody, Thoughts for the Quiet Hour (Willow Grove, PA: Woodlawn Electronic Publishing, 1997).

No matter the circumstances, the Saints always held fast to the fact that they were fully devoted to Christ and God our father. They knew the possibilities they faced and held fast to their beliefs and trusted in God for their safety. They regarded their safety not in terms of their physical safety but their spiritual safety. They considered their physical worth as nothing compared to their spiritual worth. This is how we should see life and the path before us. The world before us will pass away but the souls inhabiting it with us are precious and of value to our savior. He wishes none of them to be lost. Hope is something we can give by being the image of the God who cared enough to come down, live among us and die for us for the forgiveness of our sins. He also demonstrated that death is not the end but the beginning when He rose on the third day. This life is but a temporary stopover where we are tested and given our strength, our guidance for what is to come. It is hard to be joyous and jubilant at all times, but we should view it as a special time and worthy of being joyful. It is prelude to the life to come.

May the good Lord bless and keep you safe. Remember to "Always Love The Details."
