Today’s Thought “Permanent Blemish?” G. Ward

Philippians 3

^8 “More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them mere rubbish, so that I may gain Christ…”

 

To calculate the excitement upon so many endeavors towards being rich, along with being welcomed into settings appearing so noble, appears such a waste of time, until the joy in our Heavenly Father’s acceptance of my repentance and how HE allows my dependence on HIM in everything, is my daily meditation. More has become less, particularly as I assess “why” certain things may be fulfilling in contrast to the contentment in knowing HE’S my Shepherd and I have need of nothing, awaiting HIS distribution (and HE never fails).

Some may deem this posture a takeaway, even worried that HE won’t allow them to have things and whereas they cannot conjure up Abraham, Solomon or Job, their stories (written for our guidance) witnesses tremendous wealth provided by our LORD, yet these preferred that Holy God knew their names. May you keep pressing in the spiritual interrogations (found in HIS Word), so as to more establishes trust in the ONE desiring a love relationship with you.
