Increasing in grace and wisdom-HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME.

in #steemchurch6 years ago

Happy-Birthday-to-myself-on-pic-with-balloons-1.jpgAnd Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. (Luke 2:52, NASB)

Today I would like us all to consider this verse from the gospel of Luke. It talks about the growth of the Son of God. This God-Man came down in humility to be born of woman He created and gavesl life every second her life. Prior to this verse, we see Jesus Christ, who was twelve by then, been left behind after the Passover Festival for a kingdom purpose. We read

and as they were returning, after spending the full number of days, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. But His parents were unaware of it, (Luke 2:43, ESV)

Jesus Christ was a man who clinged closely to his ministry. He wouldn't let anything prevent him from doing the will of His Father. Here we read that at the age of 12, he was ready to forfeit all and live for the purpose of his coming on earth

This teaches us that even as followers of Christ, we shouldn't allow anything to take precedence over the gospel and the purpose of of our lives on earth. We must live to fully manifest the glory of God , to live as the LIGHT shinning in the dark and sin-crammed world and also as a SALT in this tasteless world.

He forsook all; mother, father, friends and siblings. He treasured the mission of God more than relationships. And here we read that 'Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men'.

I'm filled with joy as write this message knowing that it takes the grace of God for a my heart to beat approximately 42,048,000 times this year. It takes the unmerited favor of God for blood to continuously flow through my veins. I'm grateful to Him for both the spiritual and physical growth. It's my prayer that I may continue to treasure his word more than anything, so that I may grow in grace, wisdom and stature for the glory of God.

Psalm 59, David doesn’t exactly share my attitude. For some context, lets turn to 1 Samuel 19:9-11a.

1SA 19:9 But an evil spirit from the LORD came upon Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. While David was playing the harp, 10 Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear, but David eluded him as Saul drove the spear into the wall. That night David made good his escape.

Happy Birthday to you @gadol. I half to see young men into Christianity.

Thanks for the wish. God bless you brother @bigssam
