060 Numbers 32 – 34; Romans 8.18 – 8.39

"When will they ever get it?”
“So-and-so is so clueless.”
“People without the Lord in their life are blind.”
“If those people had a map and a personal guide, they would still get lost.”
These are just some of the disparaging remarks made about “those” people. Who are “those” people? Could they be us? It is a scary thought.

"If you won't follow him, he'll do it again." This is the message delivered to the new generation of God's people. God suggests, "One generation had already spent forty years wandering in the wilderness, do you want to be next?" Wow--clueless.

Can you and I stay out of that mode of thinking?. . .YES! Read Romans chapter eight and you feast your eyes upon one of the most amazing and richest chapters in all of the Bible. The Son of God has come to set us free and has sent His Spirit to continue to set us free. Freedom land is our new address. Can we act clueless at times? Yes. However, by God's grace we have new resources that propel us to victory in Christ.

We are in a wrestling match until we arrive in heaven but we have weapons at our disposal in order to live an abundant life here and now. When we find ourselves acting clueless let us repent and return to Savior of our lives. Do you have the victory? Perhaps that is the wrong question. Does Jesus have the victory? Yes. Christ has the victory and He has purchased it for you. Join Him today and live out loud.
