Under His Feet

Everything is under the feet of Christ. Everything.

It's not necessarily evident that all things are submitted to Him. If we walk by sight rather than by faith, we can easily conclude that our lives, the entire realm of humanity, are swirling in a free-fall toward oblivion.

But what we see isn't what is. What we see, what we perceive, what we understand--all things--pass through the filter of our human vision and our spiritual sight is quite myopic.

Because of that, our vision requires correction, and only Jesus has the 'eye salve' Revelation 3:18, that enables us to see things as they really are. It is only when we "walk by faith, not by sight," II Corinthians 5:7, that we get a true picture.

May we allow Him to open the eyes of our understanding so we may see who holds the future. May we trust Him with our lives for time and eternity. May we lift up our prayers to Him in the behalf of those we love--indeed in the behalf of the whole world--and rest in the confidence that "everything is under His feet," Ephesians 1:22.
