HIS PLACE
by Ruth Holmes

The Lord had a place that His Father raised Him up to, after His death. It is a place of supreme honor, glory, and authority. It is a place where He is seated at the right hand of God, in sovereign power, ruling over all things in heaven and in earth (Eph. 1:20). 

To this place, He has already in His mind, raised His bride, His people, to sit together with Him in heavenly places (Eph. 2:4-6). Oh, what quiet, what rest, this should bring to our souls in the midst of such a turmoil as there is in our world. 

Sometimes we feel as though we are being beaten by the winds of a hurricane. We are torn and tossed around without power to help ourselves. Let us remember that there is always an "eye" in every hurricane. Let us remember also, that it is the Lord that has made the hurricane for His own wise and good purpose. 

Let us seek that "Eye" and find the calm and peace that is always there. The Lord says, "Be still, and know that I am God " – your God (Psa. 46:10).

There is great power in the center of the eye of the hurricane, and that "Eye" is always on you. His "Eye" is always on the sparrow and not one of them falls to the ground apart from the Father’s will. You are of more value to Him than many sparrows (Matt. 10:29-31). 

Sit in this heavenly place with the Lord and watch Him quietly, and surely, destroy all His enemies, and yours (Acts 2:34-35), and be at peace. Lay aside the weight that is wearing you down, and look unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith; He is on the throne. Consider Him, and you will have great peace (Heb. 12:1-3).

Dear reader, you who are still separated from the Lord; you who have not received Him as your Lord and your God; run to Him today and ask Him to save you so that in the day of judgment it will not have to be said of you that there was found no place for you (Rev. 20:11).
