Running on Faith Weekday Devotions – Monday 5 September 2022:
Labor Day 2022
2 Cor 5:9, 14-15 “Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him (Jesus Christ).”
“For the love of Christ controls us (mature believers), having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died; & He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died & rose again on their behalf.”
1 Thess 5:11 “Therefore encourage one another & build up one another, just as you also are doing.”
When we’re secure in the Lord, the indwelling Spirit’s inner-peace & inner-joy assures us of success as opposed to someone’s response or lack of response, or their agreement or disagreement.
1 Thess 5:16–18 “Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
Do everything as for the Lord (Col 3:17)
Success is pleasing Jesus Christ!
