4 Nissan 5768 (Hebrew 7th Month) "ZEALous!"
These WORDs of the Apostle Paul reveal to me more about his conviction as to the purpose for which God's Spirit used him in strengthening and empowering those Believers in the 1st century Church.
Between exhortation and teaching, there is ZEAL clearly evident in Paul's WORDs, where sustained by God's Power he was able to 'Press Onward' in the WORK entrusted to him in God's Kingdom.
Regardless of any present situation I may be currently enduring, I must always listen intently to Holy Spirit for direction and increased understanding of my purpose concerning God's Eternal Plan of Redemption and Salvation.
While the Kingdom of God is BLESSED abundantly, overflowing with Provision and Favor, I must also be reminded that I have been assigned WORK for the advancement of the Gospel of Christ Jesus.
Like the Apostle Paul, I realize my responsibility of Faithfulness, having received HIS Spirit for Guidance and POWER, and I must also understand the greater Blessing comes from my Obedience to HIS assigned Kingdom WORK for me in this life.
