2 Thessalonians 1:11

Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power

Two of my biggest problems are opposite sides of the same coin: Pride and false modesty.  Sometimes, I am so proud of myself, and what I have done (all by myself).  EGO gets in the way.  In this case, E.G.O. stands for “Edging God Out,” which is what I do.  Other times I think I am worth less than a slug that’s already been salted.  In these times, I am holding God at arm’s length.

Eugene Peterson’s “The Message” paraphrases Paul’s prayer in this verse: “we pray for you all the time–pray that our God will make you fit for what he’s called you to be, pray that He’ll fill your good ideas and acts of faith with His own energy so that it all amounts to something.”  Without His energy, I want to crawl in a corner and hide. If He doesn’t make me fit, I won’t fit.  But He makes me worthy, and He makes me fit.

I’ll pray for you, and will you please pray for me.  Pray that He’ll make us fit, and that He’ll fill our good ideas and acts of faith with His own energy so that it all amounts to something.”

Thanks for taking time to read this!

Psalms 19:1

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

Devotional by Steve Hubbard:

In the 80s, there was a popular Christian song called “O sing to the Chief Musician”.  My wife and I were half of the quartet that sang this song at our wedding.  Have you ever looked at a sunset and wondered at God’s handiwork?  The details of His arts and crafts projects are often beyond our ability to conceive - how would you build a cloud?  Think about the wonderful computer-aided graphics the Chinese put on for the Olympics’ Opening Ceremony, and then think about a summer thunderstorm.  God’s graphics aren’t computer-aided, but they are grander than anything we can imagine.  Even then, they give us only a hint of God’s glory.  The expansiveness of His lightning shows His handiwork.  As the Psalmist said: “The heavens declare the glory of God.”  Let us join the chorus and cry “Hallelujah!”

In His Name,

Stevene

 Matthew 23

8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. 9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.  11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
