Christ is above all things: our everyday concerns, our paid, the events that overwhelm us. He invites us to rise above these worldly troubles. Ephesians 2:4-7 gives us the invitation, "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, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus."
What a transforming thought: God didn't leave us to die because of our sin, but had such love and mercy for us He made us alive in Christ so that we can dwell with Him in the heavenly places. Doesn't your small worry fade in comparison to these riches? Don't you long to leave the world of woe behind and live with Christ? It's not an impossible dream. That is where God wants us to be.
Whenever circumstances get you down, simply ask for Jesus to help you. He is draw you out of the turmoil and give you peace and rest.
Take a moment to thank Him, then take Him up on His offer. Walk in His presence. Be with Christ in the heavenly realms.
