Ruling and Reigning

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through one man, the resurrection from the dead also comes through a man. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own order. Christ, the firstfruits; afterwards, at His coming, those who belong to Christ. Then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father, when He abolishes all rule and authority and power. For He must reign until He puts all His enemies under His feet. The ,axt enemy to be abolished is death. For God has put everything under His feet. 1 Cor 15:20-27

Now let us be mindful we have been given a kingdom, which we are responsible for, in which all our enemies must be put under our feet, and one will we give an account for at the end of our days.

Do we see ourselves as rulers, kings and priest, which we are, or victims of this cruel world. I read something interesting today: without a vision of our future, we become a victim of our past.

I have a vision and it calls me on, my past is a dim image way back. I cannot bear to stay beside cool springs because being a country girl, I know they will not be reliable and drought will dry them up. I must keep moving. In Australia, in drought, stockmen herd cattle down through inland Australia looking for feed. They live on the trail. Rain does not fall evenly across our lands, their are areas where little or no rain falls for the longest time. If I stay in such a place I die. I must keep moving, in the Spirit.

As I overcome my flesh and trials that come my way I progress. I am never bored, too much is calling. I struggled being held down. At present my mother is staying with me. I cared for her whilst she was in hospital and she is thinking she may need this again. I think she will be fine and when she is totally recovered she can move on living with my brother. I do not like the tether this has placed upon me, there was a time I thought I would be her carer but now realise this is not the case. As much as I love my mum, I have a trail to ride and I know that it is not that of a carer, even though my nursing background made me think I might. If it were my path my heart would be there as it now is in developing the people in my business world.

However, just as Paul said, I have learned to be content in whatever state I am in. For now I will be the best carer I can be. Amen!
