The eye of the LORD is fixed upon His people. His purposes concerning them are eternal, His Spirit given as an earnest of the glory to be revealed in them. "Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave us the Spirit as a pledge" (2 Cor. 5:5). The sons of Adam dread mortality, vainly pursuing ends to forestall their inevitable demise. The children of promise earnestly seek to put off that which is mortal so that that which is eternal may have supremacy. Strange in the eyes of the world are the heirs of the King who fear not death, knowing that the victory is theirs in Christ Jesus who raised and will raise them to everlasting life. To He who is able to keep you until that day be the glory and the honor and power. Amen
