Scripture: "... We rely on what Christ Jesus has done for us. We put no confidence in human effort, though I could have confidence in my own effort if anyone could. Indeed, if others have reason for confidence in their own efforts, I have even more!" Philippians 3:3-4 NLT Application: No matter what we've accomplished in life, there have been many, many people who have come from further behind and soared far ahead of us, and all the while suffering more than we could bear. Humbling, isn't it? But human achievement from any one of us should not be our eternal focus, anyway. Our focus should never be on our biographies, resumes, or achievements. The suffering and success of Jesus is all we need. Prayer: We take not a single blessing from You for granted, dear Lord. And we see nothing about our own achievements as significant in the grand scheme of things. We place our faith and joy only in what You have done for us and the whole, wide world. Amen.
