What a rich passage! v. 23 is the not the dilemma that I once thought it was when I was a young Christian but rather a guidepost. God did create it all but it's how we use that or try to gain from His Creation is where we fall short. 24 is also a credo to live by as we all fall short of His standards and need His redemptive power. There is no dilemma if we apply v 31. The ultimate goal is SALVATION!!!! (32).
Have I ever posted how much I love and am proud of my sons? Each one of them is unique and yet very similar. They have grown closer as the years have gone by and is a blessing. While I wish the same were true with my brother and me, distance and time have played a huge factor. Time, in the sense, that I had to develop a relationship with my family when they needed me. He has his idiosyncracies and I guess so do I which makes the relationship even more difficult to cultivate. I am always wishing for his well-being and I know he does the same for me. I know that our time together will be shorter and shorter and hopefully we can improve our relationship.
Praise for today: He will never give me second best! He will make all things beautiful in His time!
