The Relentless Pursuit of Gratefulness (7 Minute Prayers)
Manage episode 309342725 series 3031429
What is the opposite of relentless? Some would say intermittent, short-lived, or irresolute. I think it’s settled.
Let me explain.
While the Apostle Paul encourages us to discover contentment in our circumstances (Phil 4:10-19), he also challenges us to approach faith like a soldier or athlete embraces discipline.
In 1 Cor: 9:24, he says: “Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win!”
If we want to grow in righteousness or gratefulness, it makes sense that we would develop a relentless focus. While being grace-filled, it’s also possible to create a disciplined life that presses toward the prize of God’s blessing, “Well done, my good and faithful servant!”
