Good Morning Monday...
Father Thank You for this NEW DAY. Please help us today to bring glory to YOUR NAME. Help us to understand YOUR WILL. Help us to understand YOUR SON and OUR CALLING. In YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST’s Name we pray. Amen. - And All These Things Shall Be Added To... Us! When we come to truly know Yeshua, Jesus Christ Our Savior, something changes. Our lives change, our priorities are monumentally changed, we see things different, and we now have new influences. Our relationships with God and man change and we now make decisions with God Our Father in mind. Our Savior is on our mind... all the time. Through this change we gain Life, and "Life More Abundantly." We experience a Peace like we never have before. For the first time, when we come to Christ, we learn what Living is really all about, and we receive "eyes" to see who and what the enemy is doing. “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” John 10:10 Gaining fame, money, status, having loss, and former disappointments are considered nothing or "rubbish" when seen next to knowing The Truth, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. When we finally wake up and unwrap God's Gift of His Son's Faithfulness, Grace, Mercy, Help, and His Purpose, they bring rich meaning to our lives in a completely new way we have never experienced. Paul definitely experienced this. Let's take a look: “Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ” Philippians 3:8 Paul, like us, woke up. He cherished knowing Our Savior more than anything else in his life and he constantly reaffirms this in what he writes. He was willing to go through torture, imprisonment, insults, and whatever other harsh treatment he had to, and gladly, if it brought him closer to Our King Yeshua, Jesus Christ. Paul was submissive and tolerant of his struggles because he knew these trials built him up spiritually and each time he understood more that experiencing these trials helped him to understand the completeness Yeshua offers in every situation. Paul puts it like this: “Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:11-13 Paul valued Living and "Living More Abundantly." Paul valued knowing Our Messiah and that is what Paul Lived for. All the difficult times, struggles, and persecution that Paul faced, he faced with resolve because he knew The Gift Of God, Our Messiah. He knew whatever tough things he may have to face in life would only bring him closer to The Savior of The Whole World. Remember, Our Savior is close to the broken hearted. Maybe you are going through some suffering currently, maybe you are in a fight with temptation, and maybe you are having a tough time with your faith. Whatever it may be, know that these struggles are always a way to know Our Savior and God in a very personal way. There is one thing you can be sure of through each and every struggle, God Our Father and Yeshua, Jesus Christ, Love You. While Our Father doesn't like sin, He Loves Us Sinners Anyway, and He Is Constantly Working To Help Us Remove that sin so He can be even closer fo us. He Will Give You Strength to carry on, fight, and conquer the temptations, sins, and struggles in each of our lives. Like Paul, each of us has the choice to lay all our disappointments, struggles, and doubts at the foot of Our Savior. May we never be led astray from the fact that God Our Father's Promises Are Sure...Iron Clad. Our Father has opened our spiritual eyes and if we but look, listen, and set our hearts on Him, He Reveals things to us in unbelievable, heartwarming, wonderful, and unexpected ways. This world may offer a lot of things, but it is all garbage compared with a real and ever growing relationship with The Truth, The King, and Our Almighty Father. In this relationship is where we find our "treasure" and if we but "seek first the kingdom of God and His Righteousness," then we can be assured... "All These Things Shall Be Added To ...Us!" HalleluYah!!! “in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” Colossians 2:3 “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33
