“That we might be found IN (Christ), not having our own righteousness ...but that which is through the faith of Christ” (the Tree of Life).
[Philippians 3:9]
Unless the Lord perfects our faith, our labor becomes a vain effort; for without Him we can do nothing.
After all, Christ is “the author and the finisher of our faith” (not us); that we might be called “trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified.
[Hebrews 12:2; Isaiah 61:3]
I was struck by the reminder of how important it is to have eyes to see Abba's hand at work, in our lives, through the right lens (His eyes); because, until we learn how to hearken unto His voice, and yield to His causing, we will never attain to His righteousness (which is what is pleasing in His sight).
Then we shall be like a tree, planted by the rivers of (living) water, that brings for it's fruit in it's season; whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever we do shall prosper. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
[Psalm 1: 3,6]
ThenSingsMySoul:
SHOW ME YOUR WAYS,
THAT I MAY WALK WITH YOU.
SHOW ME YOUR WAYS,
I PUT MY HOPE IN YOU.
THE CRY OF MY HEART IS TO LOVE YOU MORE,
TO LIVE WITH THE TOUCH OF YOUR HAND,
STRONGER EACH DAY; SHOW ME YOUR WAYS.
