Love the statement Paul made about Timothy in Philippians 2:20-22 when he said, “I have no one else like him who takes a genuine interest in your welfare”. That statement challenges me to ask if others could say that about me. Do my mentors, friends, children and coworkers see me as?
1. a needed and unique resource in their lives
2. possessing a genuine interest in their welfare and their welfare alone
3. someone with a track record of selfless service, faithfulness and team work
4. Committed to the big picture of the kingdom.
Lots to think and pray about.
Two versus speak to me, the first is Eph. 6:6-8. Having a strong work ethic is one of the most important virtues in life and will bring satisfaction and rewards. The interesting point in this verse is a promise of rewards from the Lord for every good thing you do, even as slaves performing the most basic chores. Sometimes we may feel like slaves to our work, but if we have this work ethic we have this very motivating promise.
The other verse Phil. 1:18 is interesting. Even someone preaching the good news with the wrong motives, God can still use it. However the risk is new converts having to learn of the messenger's wrong motives at a later time, if they are weak they might fall away (yet still being saved). This is more likely in the "extreme" examples of wrong motives or personal lifestyles. We have examples of this in our time with the messenger's showing little regard for the weak and how their choices affect the weak in faith. I can only imagine what it's like, but it shows the power of the message is far greater than the messenger.
Such great scripture to choose from... The Armor of God is such a
powerful tool to utilize against Satan's strongholds. But as I read the end of Phil 1, I am amazed at Paul's transparency. His life wasn't "fun" with the beatings and persecution. But he has such a great attitude and outlook. I think so many times we grumble and complain about our circumstances. (Phil 2:14-15) Maybe we even ask God why we have to go through what we do. My desire is to have that selfless attitude, so that Christ can shine through. (vs 2:16-17) Ultimately, I want to have the attitude "to live is Christ and to die is gain" (Phil 1:21) Wow, what would it be like to actually live by that philosophy- NOTHING to lose!
