Week 42 - The Journey Apostle Paul
"More than that, I even consider everything as a loss because of the supreme good of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have accepted the loss of all things and I consider them so much rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having any righteousness of my own based on the law but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God, depending on faith to know him and the power of his resurrection and [the] sharing of his sufferings by being conformed to his death, if somehow I may attain the resurrection from the dead. Philippians 3:8-11
Rebirth. Each day when we awake we are born into the day. The past is behind us, the future awaits but this is the day the Lord has made. Paul's past was leading him to destruction, in his awakening with his encounter with Jesus, he was born into new life, everlasting life.
The apostles journeyed with Christ for three years, Paul journeys with the Trinity each day. Each day is a gift living in the presence of God. Each day builds upon the foundation of God when we walk with Him. Paul came to understand all was for nought if God is not the Supreme Source.
"In the morning let me hear of your mercy, for in you I trust. Show me the path I should walk, for I entrust my life to you." Psalms 143:8. Pride falls away and faith grows when we walk the way where God directs us. Each day is a gift, renew your mind with God and trust in where He is taking you.
What is God saying to me? Live now, live each moment with Me, it is a taste of Heaven.
Dear Father, each day with You, builds upon a strong foundation. The joy one feels knowing how we are loved surpasses all understanding. Prayers for lots of moments with You. Thank You for the Body of Christ that operates with in us, I see it at work and I see it suffering as well. Prayers for the suffering, in our pain lift us up to You with the knowledge that all is well. Only through You can we get there. Bless this day with each breath that we take. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of Mercy, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Terror of Demons, Pray for us.
