Day 959 – Blessed Assurance! – Meditation Monday

Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy Welcome to Day 959 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Blessed Assurance! – Meditation Monday Thank you for joining us today for our five days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is Day 959 of our trek, and it is time for Meditation Monday. Taking time to relax, refocus, and reprioritize our lives is crucial in order to create a living legacy. For you, it may just be time alone for quiet reflection. You may utilize structured meditation practices. In my life meditation includes reading and reflecting on God’s Word and praying. It is a time to renew my mind, refocus on what is most important, and make sure that I am nurturing my soul, mind, and body.  As you come along with me on our trek each Meditation Monday, it is my hope and prayer that you too will experience a time for reflection and renewing of your mind.  Although we look forward to the time when Jesus Christ will return to earth to reign as our King, we have the assurance and strength every day to live according to God’s precepts. In our Meditation Monday today I want us to reflect on… Blessed Assurance! Blessed Assurance is not only a loved hymn, but it is also our seal of redemption through God’s Spirit. All creation waits on tiptoe for the day Jesus returns and brings us home to the Father. On that day, we will experience &#8220;the total redemption of our bodies that comes when our adoption as children of God is complete. However, we realize that not only is the Holy Spirit our &#8220;guarantee, a down payment of the things to come,&#8221; but He is also God’s sustaining power and presence in our lives and will help us in many ways. Here are three truths we will find in the verses today: The Spirit intercedes for you when you pray and even &#8220;steps in and articulates your…with groaning too profound for words&#8221; when you can&#8217;t find the words to pray. The Spirit&#8217;s presence is a constant reminder that because of Christ’s presence at the Father&#8217;s side, nothing can ever separate you from the His love. The Spirit whose power raised Jesus from the dead is your assurance of ultimate victory just as Jesus was victorious over sin, death, and hell. Treasure these assurances. Trust in the Spirit&#8217;s presence. Glory awaits! · Verses to Live <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-19683 aligncenter"...
