Trust the grip

God is going to reach down to the dark place below and yank me loose from its unbreakable death grip. He'll welcome me back to the land of life with a warm embrace and a big party. ~ Psalm 49:15 (ABP)

Christ our Savior defeated death and brought us the good news. It shines like a light and offers life that never ends. ~ 2 Timothy 1:10b (CEV)

KEY IDEA:

Through Christ death is defeated. So live as a victor.

PRAYER:

Thank you, God, for sending Jesus to rescue us from death. Thank you for the new life that is ours after we are rescued. It doesn't make sense but sometimes I longingly look back toward the darkness below. There is still more in me that needs transforming so that I can experience complete detachment from that place. I'm going to trust your powerful grip. Amen.
