Today’s Scripture: Philippians 3:15 NLT: Let all who are spiritually mature agree on these things. If you disagree on some point, I believe God will make it plain to you.
Do you believe God will make it plain to you? Paul is providing powerful instructions to the Philippians, you and me.
We are to make ourselves nothing and put no confidence in human effort and boast only of what Christ Jesus has done for us. We are to discard everything else to become one with Christ. We are to trust Christ to save us. Like Paul, we strive to be all that Christ Jesus saved us for and what He wants us to be. We can say the same thing Paul did: “I am still not all I should be”. We are to focus all our energy on one thing: “Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead”. We are citizens of heaven and should not think only of life here on earth.
What we don’t agree on we can believe God will make it plain. Do you trust God to make it plain.
Today’s Prayer: Father God, You are all. Help me to grasp my nothingness. Help me to embrace the desires You are giving me and to rely on Your power. I trust in Your eternal will and only look forward to what lies ahead. Please be plain with me and give me the boldness to act on Your desires and to have peace through faith. Amen.
