"The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yes, I have a good in-
heritance."
If we believing Christian churchmen could see the whole picture (as God does), we would be totally amazed at how incredibly good we have it (in Christ). Because of sin, the fall, and the clogs and corrup-
tions of our flesh--we fail to recognize this a lot of the time.
Every once in a while we get a blessed glimpse of just how wonder-
fully blessed we truly are. But it is faith that says, "I know I have it all, in Christ. Therefore, I will be thankful, and give God praise (de-
spite how I might feel)."
[Puritan quote of the day: "Faith is the key that unlocks paradise, and lets in a flood of joy into the soul." --Thomas Brooks, in, "Heaven on Earth"]
