IN HIS GRIP

 IN HIS GRIP

Ephesians 3:17-19 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. 

  Again, I repeat: Our attitude and actions are the product of our truly held beliefs. This should be no mystery. There is no “I don’t know why I did that?” This includes the professing Christian. Life being either about ME or Him.

  As has happened too often in my life, unlike dear Ann and pal Al, names and faces have faded from my memory. Though forgetting who I commonly remember what, often doing so as needed by a reminder, God using aural, scents, sights & sounds.

  Though I couldn’t associate it with any of the 4 senses, yesterday I remembered “In his grip.” It said and signed by an old friend when asked how he was doing or in correspondence. They were not however simply 3 glib words. His life under all circumstance was as such. His belief > attitude > actions grounded in the Word of God.

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. … Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant. Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God. (1Cor.6:19-20;7:21-24)
