“In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God
with freedom and confidence.” Ephesians 3:12
Dear Father,
Would you just look at all these tags that are supposed to identify who I am! I have three different badges on a lanyard around my neck five days a week that allows access to my work areas, not to mention there is my driver’s license, military identification card, social security card, voter registration card and even a library card bearing bar-codes or magnetic strips with more information than I would like known. These items on top of passwords for computers (three of them and counting), cell phones, desk phones, and electronic gates all in the name of security and making sure that I am who I am and no else uses my identity. For heaven’s sake even my car has my identity plastered on it just so I can park the thing or drive through a compound. It is enough to make my head spin and this goes on every single day. Thank you Lord that I don’t need a number to get into heaven. I don’t need a password to talk to you and I don’t need an identification badge to obtain your grace and mercy. All I need is Jesus. Amen! He is my entry, my access, my identification. There is no ID theft in your kingdom. No one can assume my credentials to get in because my credentials are worthless of glory. It is Christ’s Name that we must obtain to enter and that is obtained at the foot of the cross with each individual’s name in His blood. Omniscient God you saw past this numbers-driven era, beyond the electronic, technologic tangle wangle mass of cyber security and offered us a way to you via the only Way. No one can steal or forge our access to you. I am sealed and no one can snatch me from you. Thank you for the simplicity of the cross and the security of the blood. You do not lose your own no matter how tripped or trapped we may get in our advanced world. Oh thank you for this freedom moment, now will you please help me remember my password so I can get to work?
Love,
Penny
