“constantly rejoicing in hope [because of our confidence in Christ], steadfast and patient in distress, devoted to prayer [continually seeking wisdom, guidance, and strength],” Rom 12:12 AMP “And this I pray, that your love may abound more and more [displaying itself in greater depth] in real knowledge and in practical insight, so that you may learn to recognize and treasure what is excellent [identifying the best, and distinguishing moral differences], and that you may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ [actually living lives that lead others away from sin];” Phil 1:9-10 AMP 🙌 🔊 Hebrews 11:30: By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days. 🎺

What does this pursuit of excellence really mean, even in tough circumstances? Actively walking in agreement with God’s Word. Living for God and loving that which He loved and died for, seeking His lost sheep and returning them to His fold; being a blessing for the glory and honor of God alone. Consider these three principles daily: 1) If we aren’t preaching Christ, who is going to hear the message? 2) No matter the cost, I want to know Jesus and make Him known. 3) We will spend eternity with Jesus. Why not give Him our all here? 🧐😇 Pursue God with your all: heart, mind and soul! God bless you, always in all ways. Walk with God: walk good.
