Grace for your spirit September 26, 2014

Grace for your spirit
According to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.  Philippians 1:20

Earnest expectation and hope is much more than just a "pipe dream." Paul's plan was to exalt Christ in life and even after his death.  Did it work for him?  Yes.  His writings and the results of his conversions still live on 2000 years later.  When we dedicate ourselves to exalting Him in our lives, our influence can and will live on in the lives of others too.  As Elisha's bones brought the dead man to life, our spirit and our words can give life long after we are gone.  Our forever plan needs to start now.
