Ephesians 4:15 “Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into CHRIST HSRLF, WHO is the Head.“
Approaching HIS Level!
Who longs to be wrong about lingering longer…
thus praying HIS sooner return will become…
…the hour at Present? Are not these our thoughts as we’re watching for GOD to finish what HE had begun?
While certainly so still we cast our gaze also to see those not waiting; to question them, “Why?”
For the curtain shall fall on this age of grace surely. As such, be ye zealous! Yea, preach while there’s time!
Then! When HE’s ordained, we shall gathered be upwards.
So lift HIS NAME with the same zeal as CHRIST!
As HIServant reminded and reminding to not give less than our all for THE KING,

Devotional: 2 Peter 3:18 “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. To HIM be glory both now and for ever. Amen.“
What do we see today? GOD is rapidly drawing people to HIMSELF.
More so than at any other time at least in my life.
But what also is seen in many a church? Routine Apathy and a lack of discernment.
Which dovetails into:
The sharing of the Gospel feeling more like a preset recitation than the greatest story ever told.
Which weekly looks like:
A transactional offer which helps most in the moment but yet is missing the precious zeal of sustainability.
Which translates to little to no personal growth and by default, a false sense of self-reliance.
Meaning: Wothout truly knowing the blessed “Why? how we can keep pressing through any storm?
So we must each readily applying with like zeal the faith of countless brothers and sisters before us.
So I still counter this remaining, popular Christian culture of “just enough”-ism.
I feel GOD has greatly gifted my life to pray for others, especially the last 32 years.
By endeavoring to stay in touch with those many souls, I gain the perspective of spiritual growth in others.
What a humbling privilege! What an encouraging sight which also motivates me to higher ground.
To strive to serve with HIS level of zeal and continuance and not tolerating stagnation in my own efforts.
The Age of Grace is near its end. Once that curtain falls, it reverts to Law by default.
So let us URGENTLY share the great news of eternal grace in Glory and that daily growth is our given goal!
Let us continually serve GOD then relentlessly …MORE SO each day.
By daily and faithfully doing so, then others grow into tasting and seeing that HE is good — and is living through us in all situations.
Amen? Amen!
