Psalm 33:20
20 Our soul [nephesh] waiteth [chakah] for the LORD [Yahovah]: he
is our help [`ezer] and our shield [magen]. KJV-Interlinear
20
Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. ESV
Faith in Christ opens up an
almost infinite list of possibilities and opportunities. Because of the many things that we have just
studied in the previous verses, we as believers in Christ are convinced that He
is our help, our hope, our shield, our eternal destiny, and far more.
Christians, look to Christ
and know that no matter what happens in life, whether prosperity or poverty,
good health or bad, safety or danger, no matter what the situation may be in
this world, for it is the devils world, He is always there to watch over us and
protect us, and deliver us as is fitting in His plan for us.
The ultimate goal of the
Christian life is in eternity. There is nothing in this world that can replace
eternity or act as a substitute for it.
It is our mission to
endure the hardships as they may be, and understand that it is the policy of
evil that rules for the time being, but it is temporary and Christ will one
day, put a permanent end to it.
Our soul is our life and
our soul possesses phenomenal abilities and capacities. This physical world places many limitations
on us that restricts what our soul life can do or accomplish.
From the genetic
restrictions that we have to interact through, ie., the soul interacts through
the brain, the brain through the body, making our physical self, restricted in
what our abilities are, to the physical surroundings of this world that limit
us in virtually every aspect of life.
But one day, those
restrictions will vanish when we are changed into our resurrection bodies,
which will be free of constraints, allowing more things that we probably cannot
even begin to imagine.
Unbelief has nothing to
look forward to. Disbelief has nothing to
look forward to.
Faith in Christ opens up an
almost infinite list of possibilities and opportunities. There is no risk of loss or failure through faith
in Christ.
