A great week-finish to you,
Whew! I have been struggling with this next message. But it's important to know so that we don't presume on God's "kindness and tolerance and patience" that are to lead us to repentance. (Romans 2:4-13)
In front of us is a fork in the road. The left side is marked Selfish Ambition and is for those who "insist on getting their own way and take the path of least resistance" .(Message) That road goes to God's wrath and fury (not a welcome topic). In fact Paul says these travelers are "storing up wrath for (themselves) ... when God's righteous judgment will be revealed". It is indeed a slippery distressful slope.
But the other road is marked for those "who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality". And their destination is eternal life. Our wildest imagination can't begin to see how beautiful that place is.
Lord, help us to daily reject the Selfish Ambition road to choose that which brings honor and glory to You. Lord, reveal to us our true motives.
Blessings,
Ouida
