It is not possible for us to be what we ought to be until we do what we ought to be doing. - R. Murray

Paul’s ‘resume of suffering’ for the church gave clear indication he knew he was a slave to Christ, but he was okay with it. Hmm!

Pictures - we have them possibly from our early ages to where we are now, and when we look at them and compare them, my how we’ve changed. We’ve grown from that little ‘runt’ or ‘puny kid’ into someone worth beholding. But if we think about it, have we really changed? Physically yes, but spiritually most times no. We grow up and in doing so we often adopt the world’s view of things – what life is about, what is truth, etc. The bible tells us an amazing fact about Jesus, that at an early age His thinking and speech ‘amazed’ the great leaders of the time so much so that when his parent’s asked Him about it He replied “I was just about my Father’s business”. In other words He was doing what He ought to be doing – making the Father’s will known to mankind. That’s our mandate, to make it known and help build up the kingdom, and until we fully understand this we’re not being who God made us to be. Yes, life is to be lived to the fullest, but God is to be glorified through it all.

Until tomorrow…..
