Today’s Thought “Above All” G. Ward

“He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.” Colossians 1:17-18

Believers have been audacious in accepting an idea presented by political legislators along with presidential candidates that would remove them from their religion, to govern (calling the U.S. Constitution preeminent to personal values imposed on a constituency). While the hoorays of welcomed courage from citizens are directed unto politicians, heaven frowns at this blasphemous rejection in righteousness (cf. 2 Cor.5:10). My trust in the Lord is never momentary, but a total regard to Infinite Wisdom proven throughout every generation. When/if I (with limited abilities) pretentiously call HIM Lord, extending segmented realities unto HIS Sufficiency, I foster an equality with Eternal God.

Our lives are not distinctively our own. We’re all representatives of His glory. There’s no code of conduct comparable to His will for man, nor is an option available that delineates my capacity for ethical variance (“For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” Phil.1:21).

Happy Thursday!
