Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
To put it plainly, if after 31 years of following God, I were to be in a worse position than when I was first baptized into God’s Royal family, then I might as well go back to playing music on South beach, for all of the good news of the Gospel would’ve been a farce.
On the contrary, whenever I may come across some of the former musicians I used to play with, I should be to them a living testimony, and real time witness of what the Royalty of God could to for a person like me. In this way they will scratch their heads and say, I want to give it a shot too, since it has made such a huge, undeniable difference in your life.
Therefore, the fact that persons are God’s peculiar people has to translate into a living, breathing, you and me, who are to become the embodiment of the principles, laws, statutes, and instructions of God’s kingdom. It is only in this way that we could show forth the praises of Him Who has called us out of darkness into His marvelous light.
Psalms 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: 3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. 4 We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
