Now He which establishes us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God. 2 Corinthians 1:21
What will God do for you if you will allow Him? He will establish you. In other words, He will make you stable, steadfast, dependable, and unmovable so that you will not be blown about by every wind of doctrine.
This verb “establishes” in Greek is in the present participle, which means it’s a continuing action. There’s no “once and for all” here. God is in the process of establishing you.
Now, where is He establishing you? In Christ. He is moving you closer and closer to Christ the Rock of your salvation. When you are saved, God puts you into Christ and then, day by day, He moves you closer to Him.
ACTION POINT:
Thank God today for the continuous work God is doing in your life, establishing you in Christ, the Solid Rock.
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
