Only let us hold true to what we have already attained and walk and order our lives by that. Philippians 3:16 (AMP)
The past two weeks Philippians 3:16 has been my siesta scripture I have been memorizing. While there are a lot of things I have yet to obtain or comprehend, this passage of scripture reminds me that as I wait on them to materialize, I should not loose what I have already received.
Rather than focus on what is missing in your life, take a moment to do an assessment of what is in your possession now. Do you still have a measure of faith? Then hold onto it. And don’t just hold onto it but put it to use.
Hope over to the café to find others dishing up the word for Word-Filled Wednesday.

2 February, 2011 at 11:09 amYou are right Wanda… we should not lose what we already have… We could be expectant but we should not dwell much on what is yet to come.. We must instead cherish on what God presently gave us…
Thanks again for the inspiring reminders! God bless us!

2 February, 2011 at 8:28 pmBless you Wanda, Refusing to LOOSE ground along with you! Great verse to memorize for SSMT and hold on to! As I struggled to MOVE FORWARD all last year, I press into 2011, expecting more like JOY as I hold true to what we have already attained!!! Let's walk and order our lives by that!!!
Powerful and vivid image to grasp this as we wait and trust His Word, His promises, His strength, His power not ours… So now I will reflect on what I already possess and build on my faith as I put it to use. Great brief message and to the point with excellence and wisdom! Thank you Wanda!
Peace and JOY,
Peggy
