Luke 1:74 “To grant us that we, Being delivered from the hand of our enemies, Might serve Him without fear,”
Do not frustrate the timing and purpose of the Lord. The promise to Abraham does indeed involve freedom from the fear of man. To serve without fear is the great desire of our hearts. During this age of grace, however, that is not yet a reality in its fullest sense. We are free from fear in that it has no power over us because we are spiritually alive in Christ. But, persecution is still going on. There will come a day when the Lord Jesus will free us of even that.
It is very important in this present age to remind people that God has physical plans for planet earth. Many Christians these days seem to preach a ‘spiritual only’ gospel that denies the plans of Christ for His world. The separation of the timing in the fulfillment of the spiritual versus the physical kingdom of Christ is a merciful step that God planned in His wisdom. The good news is that God’s people will not have to make the physical kingdom a reality. The Lord Himself will do it and simply bring us along for the ride!
Heavenly Father, thank You for this wonderful time in Your plan. Your mercy and grace are so obvious and wonderful. Thank You for calling a people for Your Name out of this mass of Gentile darkness. How wise You are! I praise You and extol Your Name! You are the song of my heart! Grant that we may be servants in this Your great cause. I want to bring others to You. Thank You for the opportunities! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
