Fit Bit (Mourning into Dancing)
Psalm 30:11
“Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing. Thou has put off my
sackcloth and girded me with gladness.”
Waking up on this Lent morning I am remembering the
suffering Jesus paid for us.
Yesterday on Ash Wednesday, our pastor marked my forehead
with the sign of the cross, as he said, from ash you come and from ash you
shall return. This reminded me of a
plaque I have next to my bed;
“Life on earth, soon
will pass only what’s done for Christ will last”
I continued to think of my loved ones that have gone unto
dancing with our Lord and realized the people that shaped my life the most are
the ones that lived for Christ.
I am thankful that our mourning can be turned to dancing.
Here on this earth, we have trouble and sometimes pain way
beyond our understanding. I know people
say it can come in waves and I think sometimes it can come in a tsunami. Yet, no matter what the magnitude of my
current condition here on Earth is. I
know I can trust God. He loves each of
us so much, He left His thrown in Heaven, came to suffer and die for us, so we
could have our mourning turned to dancing.
Lent is a time to reflect on the suffering of Christ, to
reflect on our fleshly sinfulness, to be convicted, with a truly repentant
heart and TRUST in the salvation made possible for each of us if we simply
believe.
I believe I am a sinner and I cannot save myself.
I believe Jesus came to this world to suffer and die for me
paying the price of my sin.
I believe He imputes His righteousness upon me and I am
renewed always.
I believe He conquered the grave, once and for all. (1 Peter
3:18/ Hebrews 10:10)
This Lent season, be inspired to remember, your mourning will
be turned into dancing. Jesus said in John
16:33 “These things I have spoken to you, so that in
Me you may have
peace. In the world you have tribulation, but
take courage; I have overcome the world.”
Be fit and be blessed,
Kimberly
