we become deceived one of 2 ways:
deceit #1: something on this earth can satisfy/is better than christ
deceit #2: christ won't satisfy me until i reach heaven so all i can do is sit around a wait for that blessed day.
i want to address #2: I have talked about #1 a ton of times.
I saw a poster in the doctor's office talking about "I AM" not I will be or I used to be "I AM"
He is all you need for today! Seeking answers to problems, waiting on people to change or do what suits us are things that may never happen.
HE is our HOPE (that implies waiting, yes, but I think Hoping is for now too: it just involves faith) and our DELIVERER! FOR TODAY! TODAY is a blessed day because He is here andHe is in it, and we are in Him. Do you know the Bible states that we are "in Christ" way more than He is in us?!
As believers we are joined to His life- THAT is the good life. Participate in it. Rejoice in it. BELIEVE it! For today.
And we can continue to be excited for Heaven, but there's a little (or a lot) of Heaven in each day- IN Christ.
