Nutrients
of Worship (N.O.W.)
As God's
children, our worship should be lived out!
These
scriptures are much needed vitamins and nutrients to aid our healthy walk
with Christ. They provide strength, encouragement, conviction and
direction for our spiritual lives.

Philippians
3:12-16
"Not
that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect,
but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of
me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But
one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is
ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called
me heavenward in Christ Jesus. All of us who are mature should take
such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that
too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already
attained."
Certainly
you may have walked out of service, smiling as if you just had it all together.
Or maybe after a power-hour devotional, you got up and walked away just
certain that “it’s all in the bag”, so to speak. Please do not misunderstand
when I say this: having the assurance that the blood covers you is great;
but having the pride of knowledge knowing that you are ahead of the game
or perfect is not healthy!
In
the passage above, Paul was speaking to remind us that it's not that he
has it all together and it’s not that he is good. Paul was forever
striving to be like Christ so that he could continue to please God and
gain all that God has for him. There is always more in God; there
is always a deeper praise, worship, devotional, prayer, etc.
Be
careful not to get caught up in the precious moments too long, for what
we are to bask and boast in is Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior.
He has freely given us Salvation! Let us move on in Him knowing the
best is yet to come.
Love,
Reco
