For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. Hebrews 10:14, NASB
When God was with Moses on
Mount Sinai, the Israelites became impatient and asked Aaron, whom Moses
had left in-charge, to make them other gods to worship. And without so
much as a word of protest, Aaron crafted a calf from the gold that the
people had given him, so that they could worship it. While this
abomination was happening, God was telling Moses that Aaron
would be His very first high priest: “Call for your brother, Aaron, and
his sons…Set them apart from the rest of the people of Israel so they
may minister to me and be my priests” (Exodus 28:1).
Didn’t God know what was
happening down below? Of course He knew, but He did not see Aaron as he
was then. He saw what Aaron would become by His grace—His undeserved,
unmerited favor. God saw Aaron representing the people before Him as
high priest of the nation, and entering the Holy Place on the Day of
Atonement.
My friend, as with Aaron,
God knows all about your challenges and weaknesses. If a mistake you’ve
made keeps coming back to haunt you, or if you have a weakness that
keeps cropping up, don’t focus on it and get frustrated. Look through
God’s eyes and see as He sees you by His grace.
To your heavenly Father, you
are righteous in Christ, perfected and sanctified for all time by His
finished work (2 Corinthians 5:21). Once you realize that this is how
your Father sees you, you’ll begin to manifest it in your actions. Then,
like Aaron, you will be able to rise above what you are now, and be the
champion that God already sees you as through His grace!
I was blessed by this writeup and would love you all to be blessed too.
*******Have fun till we meet again*******
