“Giving thanks unto the Father, who hath made us meet(qualified) to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son” (Colossians 1:12-13).
Wow! We have been "translated" into Jesus' kingdom. As I picture coming into the presence of the King, I know that God would not have me come in rags. No, He has clothed me, changed me, transformed me in His very own daughter. A Cinderella transformation has been made and now I call Him not only King, but also Father.
My heart overflows with love for the One Who has done this for me. No wonder satan tries to get me to believe that I am in rags, dirty, unworthy to come into the presence of the King. With the focus on me, I am unable to see the truth and rejoice in my Father's love. His blood has washed me clean. I have been "delivered from the power of darkness." I have been set free and placed into the kingdom of God. I can rejoice in what God has and is doing. My focus in on Him and He is my Savior, Deliverer, King, Lord, Beloved.
1 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones.
2 Let Israel be glad in his Maker; Let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King.
3 Let them praise His name with dancing; Let them sing praises to Him with timbrel and lyre.
4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation.
<< Psalm 149 >>
