A Prayer for All

Philippians 1: 9-10

9And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ,


Everyday is an opportunity to advance your relationship with Christ. It is your chance to make a choice between staying where you are at, going backwards, or moving forward. Many find a comfortable spot and curl up for a long stay. Don’t fall in to that trap! Our journey started with turning to Christ, we cannot stop there! Do you notice where Paul says it all starts? Love….”may your love abound more and more in knowledge, and depth of insight” The more steps you take forward the more your love will grow. It comes naturally, it is part of loving Christ. When you love Christ, not because you want something, but because you realize just how much He loves you, you start to let that love grow, you start to understand the relationship, and you gain insight daily into how that effects your life positively. Then you are able to discern what is best and pure.

You might think that it is a hard row to hoe. I can promise you that it is not, but you do have to go to the shed and pick up the hoe! You might think that from where you are starting that there is no way to make the journey, I can promise you Christ will meet you right where you are at, and he will walk with you every step of the way. You take one step, He will take many to get to you! SO Paul’s prayer for the Philippians is my prayer for everyone, may your love abound more and more in knowledge, and depth of insight.


Peace,Brian
