It may sound cliche.
It may sound self-righteous.
It may sound unbelievable.
But I remember the first time
I heard it.
Sitting in the audience.
Listening.
Learning.
Interesting perspective.
In response to the comment,
I’m doing fine…
Under the circumstances,
The man was asked
What he was doing…
Under the circumstances.
If we are followers of Jesus Christ,
We have already been raised with him.
Therefore,
In a real sense,
We are not under the circumstances.
Does that mean we don’t hurt?
Suffer loss?
Get disheartened?
Become confused?
Deal with doubt and dark times?
Absolutely not.
As a hurting child is
Gathered into her father’s arms,
God is there
To hold us close.
For believers,
Though life isn’t always easy,
We can rest
Knowing
We need not dwell
Under the circumstances.
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things (Colossians 3:1-2 NIV).
