Today’s reading is Philippians 3
“But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith—”

All,
This stands out because Paul says, “not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith”. Do you depend on yourself to do what God wants you to do? Is it hard work to do the “right” thing? What is the “right” thing anyway? Christ wants to lead us to righteousness, but it takes Faith in Him. Faith to give Him the outcomes of today. Faith to obey Him when our own understanding tells us not to. Only Jesus leads us to righteousness, not us. Please pray that we and our friends trust Christ today, especially when you feel the nudge to do so. Please pray for Scott Lohr as a company calls him back for a third interview.
