Today’s Thought “Heritage in Faith” G. Ward

Romans 12: ³ For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.

This verse serves as an inflection point on who we are apart from God through Christ. HE is said to be the beginning and the end – that term, HE is Alpha and Omega, is indicative of the first and last letter of the Greek alphabet. Before we were able to add or subtract in kindergarten, we rehearsed our alphabet; so vigorously, that even us old folks can recite it upon demand. The alphabet, no matter the language establishes knowledge of sorts; and whereas our Lord’s title enables our view that determines HIM as “All Knowledge” –  it insists our every presumption of ability more realize HE alone remains Ultimate Distributor in/through ALL we as believers seek to endeavor for HIS glory.

Lord God, our gratefulness in having been made incomplete without a Perfect Savior, truly blesses our dependence/allegiance on Jesus. So, we keep looking to HIM, grateful that HE knows our name and takes joy in guiding us. Altogether, HIS leading us is with comparability to a mother, clinching the hand of her small child in a crowded marketplace and whereas ravenous wolves exist throughout this world and because we exist as Your sheep, we thank You for never letting go of our hand; asking that Your endowment of faith in Christ surface in our souls unto usefulness in Your Word and because of Jesus, Amen.
