Today’s Thought “Spiritual Remuneration” G. Ward

 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” ⁴ Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. ⁵ But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.” Romans 4:3-5

Life is with great difficulties. Formulatively it deepens and widens as resolve appears far off; comparable to being encapsulated in a pit. This pit portrayal has no one passing by to throw a lifeline. There’s an incessant silence, yet the victim cries out. Their pitiful state fails to view misery as temporal. The soul eventually experiences forced disquietness to contemplate one or more of their predecessors (a Mother, Father, Aunt, Uncle or Neighbor) who exercised in great faith amidst many difficulties while remaining faithful to Holy God’s Faithful vigil unto those HE loves (cf. Ps. 121:1-5).

While it may seem too familiar (misery, that is), we must realize many who traveled the road before us endured; not because of their own strength, but implicit trust in a Worthy Master.

Happy Monday!
