DEVOTIONAL
But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. (1 Corinthians 10:5)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Is the Lord pleased with you? It’s a question may ask ourselves from time to time. How do you know the answer to that question? Most often we look to our daily lives in order to see what God’s attitude is toward us. Am I well-liked by my friends? Is my family getting along? Am I healthy? Is my life running on all cylinders? If anything goes wrong in our lives, we tend to think God is not pleased with us—that He’s angry with us. Maybe we’ve done something wrong to make God upset. We think, “What have I got to do to make Him happy again?”
Our faith wavers in the sight of trouble. We disbelieve God’s goodness toward us by what we see in our lives. And then, in our lack of faith, our hearts turn away from the Lord and we become just like the Israelites—turned away from God, idols and all.
But your standing before God isn’t based on things you can see. It’s not based on what you’ve done and left undone. Whether you think your life is going well or going badly, the fact remains the same: God is well-pleased with you, in Jesus. Only in Jesus do you actually know the Father’s attitude towards you. It is in the cross of Christ that you truly know the Father’s disposition—His love for you. Christ’s body was scattered in the wilderness outside of Jerusalem—His body hanging dead on the cross for your sins, your unbelief, your doubt and despair. All the things that would make God not well-pleased with you were placed on Jesus.
Yes, the Father is pleased with you. You, like Israel, have passed through water. Your Baptism ever stands as a witness of God’s pleased-ness with you. And as He rose, so you shall rise from the dead. No matter what you see in your life, remember that the Word washed down your forehead, cleansing you with His blood and robing you in His righteousness. The entire world could fall apart around you but still, God is well-pleased with you. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness My beauty are, my glorious dress; Midst flaming worlds in these arrayed, With joy shall I lift up my head. Lord, I believe were sinners more Than sands upon the ocean shore, Thou hast for all a ransom paid, For all a full atonement made. (Jesus, Thy Blood and Righteousness, LSB 563:1, 4)
