God Has Raised Your Ark Rise Above The Earth

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne:

“Then the flood came upon the earth for forty days, and the water increased and lifted up the ark, so that it rose above the earth”

Genesis 7:17

When God's water of judgement finally came upon the earth, this was the same water which lifted and saved Noah's family in the ark "so that it rose above the earth."

The word of God in Jesus Christ, which this world rejects, is the same word that we have received and, as a result, we have been lifted up in our ark of salvation so we may rise “above the earth.”

It is as the apostle Paul wrote, saying, "But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 2:2-6).

Paul also wrote, “Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God” (Colossians 3:1).

The judgements of the people of the earth today, without Christ, are always submerged under the waters of this world of sin and separation from God. Whereas the judgements of God in Jesus Christ lift the child of God above the waters of this world so that we might rise above the earth and experience a new life in the light and love and fellowship of our Lord.

Let me encourage you to rise above the earth today, beloved, in the praises of your God even as you minister in His presence.

Yes, allow God to lift your ark of safety and salvation up above this world into His kingdom of peace.

In Jesus Christ we are saved and lifted so we might rise above all things of this world, in victory and safety, continually rising up, becoming closer to our Lord all the time.

Child of God, drinking the waters of this world can drag you down and out of God’s presence in a flash. So, drink the living, loving, waters of Jesus Christ instead and become “lifted” up in your ark so you may, by God’s grace, rise up “above the earth.”

Yes, rise up with thanksgiving and gratitude in the presence of your God Who has called you to Himself. Hallelujah!
