Wow, it is really early. I got to work at 7:45 this morning, left at 6:50 ish. Probably the earliest its been for a while =P. Usually i start work around 8:30am so its nice to be able to get my work done sooner!
Well once again im eating some more museli and cocoa pops next to my computer. Also i have some yummy red fruit tea!! (which i think is actually berry tea). But whatever it is its nice as i forgot to bring a jumper and the air con is kinda cold!
Just another musing from something me and Brit read last night. Its from a book in the Bible called Philemon! which to me sounds like a dinosaur. Kinda like a librarian dinosaur as he likes to.... "phile" things away....hahahahahaha..
Verse 6 of this one chapter book says:
"I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ."
or
"I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ"
What i found interesting in this passage was as we share the faith we too deepen in understanding of Christ and every good thing we have in Him. Interestingly its a slightly tricky verse as it also carries a few other meanings.
"As you share your faith with others, I pray that they may come to know all the blessings Christ has given us."
"..that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus."
"[And I pray] that the participation in and sharing of your faith may produce and promote full recognition and appreciation and understanding and precise knowledge of every good [thing] that is ours in [our identification with] Christ Jesus [and unto His glory]."
So also the sharing of our faith and our identification with Jesus brings an awareness of the good things (salvation among them and also a new life on earth and the age to come) to the people being shared to.
So when we share we can let people know what God has done for us and what He has done for the world if they would accept His gift of life. And its a win win because even ourselves benefit from as we edify to ourselves of all the wonderful things we we have in our Saviour.
Peace!
