Good Intentions Will Not Suffice

Good Intentions Will Not Suffice See Luke 14:28-30 Good intentions will not complete the task or finish the course set before us. In Acts 7 we read about Stephen the first Christian matyr. Surrounded by blood thirsty hatred he kept his gaze on His Saviour. See Acts 7:55-56 The rejection of the people did not blur or hinder his heavenward gaze. His focus was entirely upon The One Who is invisible to the physical eye and he was full of The Holy Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:18 tells us that we become that which we behold. Stephen reflected the glory of The LORD and the people around him rejected The LORD Jesus in him. In our society today, the majority of people have rejected The LORD Jesus Christ. May we, like Stephen, be mirrors of The LORD 's glory and love. As we gaze upon His beauty every day, we will become more like The One we behold and He will help us to count the cost required for each of us to complete our individual race that is set before us. Remember that ABBA Father relates with us as individuals. His Grace is always sufficient See 2 Corinthians 12:9 Shalom shalom.
