Today’s Thought “Damaged Goods” G. Ward

Hebrews 11:1-2 “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval.”

Not being “good enough” in our world leads to a life of misery; while not being “good enough” in the spiritual kingdom to which the believer resides demands persistence. There’s been generational instruction that condones a pompous conditioning for man whereby he’ll soon wear out. That conditioning believes his striving will pinnacle in success (cf.*Eccl.2:11) forgetting his time in the earth will soon be forgotten. Then what (Matt.7:13-14)?

Monday refuses to contrast the illicit practice in man against his best presentation, feeling justified; but seeks justification from on High, understanding without it no one qualifies (cf. Heb.7:12-19).
