It's All in the Suit You Wear

My hubby and I binge-watched Arrow Tuesday night on Netflix.  This is our absolute favorite show.  We were down to 3 episodes for the season and just couldn't - didn't even wanna - stop.  So we didn't.  We were living on the edge!!  This show is full of super heroes who wear masks, jackets, empowering techno-gadgety suits, etc.  This drama keeps us on the edge of our seats (almost literally). 

Yesterday morning as I was waking up I heard the Lord say "It's all in the suit you wear".  I'm immediately envisioning the suit I had seen the night before on Arrow. 

The Suit

The Lord has been showing me that I am "in Christ".  That my rest is "in Christ".  It is not my works and futile efforts, my faith, my words - the only thing that matters is the suit that I wear. 

Isaiah 61:10New King James Version (NKJV)

...,For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,

He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,

As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,

And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

 

He also told me Tuesday night "just stop trying".  That may not sound like God to you but it sure sounds like Him to this weary soul.  So, I have decided to just sit a while with Him.

You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban

So, please excuse me while I sit a while with Him all the while wearing my Robe of Righteousness. 

 

Colossians 3:3New King James Version (NKJV)

³ For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
