Mustard Seed Thoughts : Where You Live

I may not see in front of me, But I can see for miles around when I look over my shoulder, and Lord, it`s clear. You`ve brought me here, So faithful every step of the way. What can I do but follow you, For You are the Way, the Truth, the Life, And You`ve promised never to leave me, My Savior, my friend, From beginning to end.

Where You Live

By: Ron Edmondson Tuesday, February 22, 2000

Jesus said: "I know where you live....where Satan has his throne. Yet you remain true to my name." Revelation 2:13 NIV

Aren't you glad you can't hide from Christ? I mean, you didn't think you could escape Him, did you?

Jesus tells the church at Pergamum, He knows exactly where you and I live. He knows that we live in a land full of sin and strife. He knows we are surrounded by adulterers, liars, and thieves. He knows we struggle with lust and temptation. He knows that we surrounded by evil forces which attempt to steal our peace and joy.

Jesus knows where we live! And, yet, we have remained true to His name! In spite of our heartaches and pain; in spite of the difficulties in maintaining our faith; in spite of the pressures of life; you and I have remained true to His name.

We have kept the faith. We have not denied who He is. Oh, sure, there are days when we wonder from where our strength will come, but when the end story is written, Christ will see that we have persevered. When the going was tough, we clung to the Rock! When life's problems overwhelmed us, we waited on our Savior to see us through.

Thank you, Jesus, that you know where we live, and that by your strength, and your strength alone, we can be true to your name. And, what a wonderful name it is too!
