Volume 4 Chapter 8 Page 1

Wednesday August 1, 2007       17 Av 5767 (Hebrew 10th Month)

"Progressive VICTORY!"

 
"God WORKs through Faith!"

 

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (Amplified Bible)
 
Therefore we do not become discouraged (utterly spiritless, exhausted, and wearied out through fear). Though our outer man is [progressively] decaying and wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day after day.
For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!],
Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.

 

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>|||<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

The Apostle Paul suffered much for the Gospel of Christ, facing monumental opposition and oppression, he courageously pressed on in Faith, considering that Eternity in God's Presence far outweighed his temporal circumstances.

I am personally humbled at the depth of Paul's fortitude.

God's WORD seeks to stretch me into where I am the most vulnerable to discouragement, that unto HIM will I never cease to HONOR HIM with my Praise and Worship.

Encouraged by Paul's reference to God's Preparation of my soul, it is God who is to be Glorified in all that I am and called to bear witness of.

Peace, Comfort and Joy which is in Christ Jesus, exceeding abundantly every need I have, being supplied completely by God's Gracious Hand.

Remaining Faithful to God and HIS WORD, despite discouraging circumstances, is visible testimony that God's Spirit is POWERful and Progressively at WORK, guiding me into Everlasting VICTORY!

More of who Christ IS to me!

          MORE like HIM,

                        I desire to be!!

                      Some day SOON, with HIM I will BE!!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>|||<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

 

O'Lord, YOU have blessed me abundantly,
and my heart is filled with great Joy!
From my lips Praises to YOU must flow,
as my soul is captive to YOUR WORD!!
Visions of YOUR blessedness overtake me,
and I must sing of YOUR Grace forever!!!

YOU, O'Lord are my Deliverer!

Amen!!!
