Last evening, the youth and I discussed the bar that has been set before us by God. The youth had tremendous insight regarding how high that bar has been set. At first glance this truth can be intimidating because we know that we can never measure up. God's Word tells us that He is holy and he cannot be in the presence of unholiness. When you read Philippians 3:9, you realize that God has not lowered His standards , but rather has placed us in relationship with the only one who could live a perfect righteous life. , " and may be found in Him , not having a righteousness of my own derived from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith." We must learn to stop having confidence in our own ability, but must learn to place all of our faith and trust in Christ Jesus.
Thank you Lord for placing that bar so high, and thank you for allowing me to trust in His ability to live up to the standard.
