Today’s Thought “Under Construction” G. Ward

Matthew 5:48

 “Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”

Worldly perfection is found in no man because its terms are ever evolving (cf. Phil.4:11-13). Spiritual perfection however, strains with every moment presented to please its Owner; when that discipline is established, no matter the condition around me, my soul is barricaded unto submission therein.

Thursday contemplates; the superficial persona that appears productive and effective is the predominant lesson taught man and hasn’t worked for centuries; whereas the answer that grants such is readily perceived but mandates denial of self (*Mt.16:24).
