PASSIONATE PURSUIT...GOD MAKES THE APPOINTMENTS

​I Tim 6:1-6
Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
If any man teach otherwise and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of the Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. O’ magnify the Lord with me, let us exalt his name together. Thank God for another day to seek after His Spirit, and to have another opportunity to fulfill his will and purpose. I am led to bring forth remembrance that the Lord has ordained and appointed all powers for his good pleasure (see Rom 13:1). Therefore, remember our works are not unto man, but in obedience to the Most High. We must therefore, give honor where honor is due and credit where credit is due because the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. The Lord indeed has eyes everywhere beholding the good as well as the evil. Knowing these things, we submit ourselves unto God with a wholesome reverent fear. We honor those that he has appointed to bring us to our expected end. They have been appointed to shape, make, and mold us and to set us on the path of righteousness for his names’ sake. The others things which have yet to be revealed or understood, we give it unto God.
12-13
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, ad hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before the Jesus Christ, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession.
Saying these things, if God be for us, then who can be against us? He will recompense tribulation to them that trouble us (2 Thess 1:6) Therefore, walk in righteousness and cling to the hope of everlasting consolation given through grace even according to your faith. Stay the course and finish the race enduring hardness as good soldiers unto your day of redemption, for it surely draweth nigh.
