SETTING MY SIGHTS
ON CLIMBING HIGHER
by Lilaclady Junebug2
My buddies here are on my bed, reminding me of loved ones near and far, of loved ones I knew who are now in Heaven, and others, who are still here. Knowing my lifebelongs to God through His Son the Lord Jesus,
Romans 12. 1, 2 (1) “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service, (2) and be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
Pull out the stops and let God stretch my heart and soul and mind. Mull on His Word. Energize it. Visualize it.
Be able to say what God is telling me through His Word.
II Timothy 2.15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto
God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”
Jesus kept his goal in mind all the time He was here on earth, that He would be the Lamb Slain from before the foundation of the world. He never let down on that goal.
Philippians 2.5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, 2.6 who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God,: 2.7 but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 2.8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.2.9 Wherefore God hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 2.10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth: 2.11 and that every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father”
Bringing every thing in my life to center upon having this same mind which was also in Christ Jesus, I purpose to let God’s Spirit teach me through His Word, to apply what I know, and to keep listening to the Spirit’s voice in the Word, and to heed what God is asking me to do.
I purpose to SYNERGIZE by doing this.
The body of Jesus Christ is the Church. His local church is the means whereby He brings us together into Oneness, striving together in the ministry, that God be glorified through His Son the Lord Jesus.
Still I need to start on my self, not others.
As I depend on God to help me, I know
I can trust Him to do the same
for others too. God's time table
for me may not be the same
as yours may be.
