Some people walk around with such a downed countenance, a downed appearance and composure on their face. Now I'm a huge believer of not being fake and pretending that things are "fine" (such a fake word many times). HOWEVER...I know that God is BIGGER than the things in this life. If we truly believed that, than our countenance would give testament to that right. I mean when people look at us they should see God's JOY, His LOVE, His PEACE, His STRENGTH - ALL that He is because He is the Great I AM!!!
If we lived according to the Word, walking by what it says, then that same power would be seen and made manifest in our lives and ON OUR COUNTENANCE!
If He is the lifter of our heads (Psalms 3:3) why then do we continue to hold our heads down? I mean, do you understand what I am saying here???
Ok, ok, let's go look at the word some more:
John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Ok, so why do we walk around as though we are perishing from the weight of the cares of this world when God, our Father in Heaven, gave His Son Jesus Christ, so that we would have everlasting life in Him? People WAKE UP! Open your eyes and stop being blinded and consumed by whats around you. Be FREE by the power and blood of Jesus Christ. Take up thy bed and walk...be healed and go...(Mark 2:11).
Oh let us not be conformed to the ways of this world but God help us be transformed by the renewing of our minds that you would make us whole in You (Romans 12:2). If we walked according to who God has called us to be, who His Word says we are in Him, walking by His Spirit and not our flesh...then when people see us they won't see dead man's bones withering away to the ground, but they will see the Glory of God that surrounds us as it surrounded those who went before us....Moses....Enoch....Elijah, Elisha, Abraham, David...the long list of known names.
So my question to you is...when people see you, what does your countenance reflect? Will all see and hear and know that He and He alone is God, by looking at you?
