Today’s Thought “A Strong Defense” G. Ward

“Therefore bear fruit in keeping with repentance; and do not suppose that you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father’; for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham.” Matthew 3:8-9

Disturbance is rarely anticipated. The sudden impact is the surreal experience undesired. Our hope relies on a predecessor’s stand in stalwart strength worth modeling when calamity of sorts strikes. Here lies the essence in struggle; their (i.e. our predecessors) strength personified was indicative of their own experiences, while ours commands a unique, intimate experience. Rather than reach towards an entirely unfamiliar journey found in another that seems worthy in follow-ship, seek righteousness that’s outside the scope of humanity, compelling a pursuit without regret (cf. 2 Cor.6:1-3).

Happy Friday!
