What’s Holding You Back?

“Your hand shall be lifted up over your adversaries, and all your enemies shall be cut off.”Micah 5:9If you are walking by faith in Jesus Christ, then over the noise of your enemies’ voices, you are able to say: “I am a child of the King. I have a place at His table. I have been redeemed by the blood of Christ. I belong to the Shepherd-King. My life is secure in His hands.” What will happen when the banquet is finally ready and the king returns? He will put on his royal robes, the trumpet will sound, and he will enter his banquet hall in all of his splendour and glory. When he comes, all the enemies will be gone. That means there will be no more laughing voices, no more doubt and fear, no more darkness, and no more debilitating wounds. So if you belong to Jesus today, you already know how the story of your life will end. Your life will end with you standing in the presence of Jesus Christ — ransomed, healed, restored, and forgiven. Listen to how Micah puts it: “Your hand shall be lifted up over your adversaries, and all your enemies shall be cut off” (5:9).That’s your future. Now, go and live in the light of it. What’s holding you back?
