Life to the FULL - Walk in Resurrection PowerНамуна

1. Seeking and Rejoicing in Jesus

It sounds so simple to begin by saying that in order to hear and see Jesus in the midst of our busy lives, we need to seek him. However, this is something which is overlooked far more often than we'd like to admit.

After Jesus had been buried, Mary and the other women went to anoint His body. Even after what they perceived to be death had taken place, they were still seeking Jesus. That desperation and longing is something which we can apply to our daily lives, isn't it?

In those moments where it may seem like all is lost, or perhaps things look a bit overwhelming, we have two clear options. Run from Jesus in fear and frustration, or run to him, seeking his wisdom, guidance, and love with every step you take into all he has for you.

These women were naturally fearful in the face of the newly resurrected Christ. They still believed he was dead at this point. But that didn’t stop them rejoicing. This was their Lord! They departed quickly and were ready to tell others the good news.

How often do we get stuck at fear, uncertainty, and doubt, paralysing us from stepping into joy and purpose?

Remember, Jesus promises us abundant life - let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Practically, think about where you find the most joy in Jesus and be intentional about doing it. Could it be reading the truths found in His Word? Using your gifts and talents to serve him? Reflecting thankfully on the price Jesus paid on the cross?

Make time to do these things - take joy in the One who delights in you and rejoices over you with singing.
