So many evil circumstances can befall us in life, but we must always be rooted in the identity of who we are in Christ. No matter what happens, we are seated with Christ in Heavenly places through the blood of the Lamb (Eph. 2, Heb. 4).
We must realize that Satan has already been defeated, & even though bad circumstances can still happen for now, nothing can touch our eternal destiny in Christ Jesus. He has already conquered sin, death, & the grave.
To live in this reality, we must constantly stay in touch with our identity in Christ, & His awesome splendor on that throne. No matter what happens, we can sit there with Him far above the circumstances. That is the eternal reality. The circumstances of this life are temporal & add pressures that push us into our eternal destiny (II Cor. 4:17).
Just like Paul & Silas in prison, we can set our eyes on the Beauty of Jesus in every circumstance & watch prison doors fly open & the kingdom of heaven being made manifest on earth (Acts 16).
