When Resurrection Rises Up in You

When Resurrection Rises Up in You | lylidunbar.com

Some days I feel like I am standing in a turbulent sea of shattered dreams. I forget how to paddle and pray until I reach the safe shore, and I start drowning in doubt and disbelief.

Some days all I see is death. Defeat. Despair. The thick darkness swallows up my confidence and courage.

The enemy wants to wipe me out. But if I stop striving and surrender to my Savior, He reminds me of this truth: I am already a winner. I am a winner because Christ won me back from the wicked one.

When resurrection rises up in you

“Has Beens and Never Weres” turn into trophies of God’s grace.

God’s wonder is at work in your wounded spaces. His glory will transform your brokenness into beauty. 

Listen very carefully, I tell you a mystery–a secret truth decreed by God and previously hidden, but now revealed; we will not all sleep in death, but we will all be completely changed wondrously transformed,  in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet call. For a trumpet will sound, and the dead who believed in Christ will be raised imperishable, and we will be completely changed wondrously transformed. For this perishable part of us must put on the imperishable nature, and this mortal part of us that is capable of dying must put on immortality which is freedom from death. (I Cor. 15:51-53, AMP)

“Dead Ends” lead to Dances of Joy

Death is a vanquished foe. Your Defender breathes life into dead and dark corners. Your victory celebration is certain. 

Then the saying will come true: Death swallowed by triumphant Life! Who got the last word, oh, Death? Oh, Death, who’s afraid of you now? (I Cor. 15:55, MSG)

“Washed Up” is re-purposed as Worthy

Our efforts to serve the Savior are never in vain. God rebuilds the wrecked and appoints the beautifully restored to a ministry of mercy.

With all this going for us, my dear, dear friends, stand your ground. And don’t hold back. Throw yourselves into the work of the Master, confident that nothing you do for him is a waste of time or effort. (I Cor. 15:58)

When resurrection rises up in you, God will transform today’s troubles into tomorrow’s triumph.
