Oct 25 - God is not done with us

Long time no see...Today's ODB is taken from Phil 3:7-16, a well known passage on our pursuit of knowing Christ and holiness.

The author wrote : "Are you feeling impatient over your spiritual growth? Remember, God is not finished with you—nor does He expect to be until He calls you home. Make sure that your goal is to know Christ and to become more like Him. Then slowly but surely, under blue skies and stormy, He will bring you to maturity. It's His sure cure for "hurry sickness." "

To me, this is such a timely reminder : there is no short-cut and we can never be done with the pursuit of holiness. So in this spiritual journey, I should neither be satisfied nor discouraged by the ups and downs. While the co-existance of intimacy with God and intermitten grudges of doubts and questions for God may stumble my spiritual journey, I guess the fundamental thing is that I don't lose my trust in Him that HE is a faithful, living, mighty and caring God for all times. His words are true, His love is abundant, His plan is perfect, and His ways are always higher than mine.

Why I keep on believing like that - because our God is the only One who can claim to be the "Alpha and Omega"! PTL !

這並不是說我已經得著了，已經完全了，而是竭力追求，好使我可以得著基督耶穌要我得著的。(3:12)
