My Utmost for His Highest

Philippians 1:20 - "For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ whether I live or die. 21 For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better....... 24 But for your sakes, it is better that I continue to live."

We can be completely confident in God's will for us and boast in God and his plan. Our purpose and our goal here is to be our Utmost for HIS Highest - our best for Him not matter what we view to be the cost in other realms of our lives. I must stop pondering what God tells me and try to justify everything through the view of my life but through the view of God's life for me. Just trust and He will lead the way - be confident in Him.

"When we think seriously about what it wil cost others if we obey the call of Jesus, we tell God He doesn't know what our obedience will mean. Keep to the point - He does know. Shut out every other thought and keep yourself before God in this one thing only - my utmost for His highest. I am determined to be absolutely and entirely for Him and Him alone. ..... Pual was determined tha nothing would stop him from doing exactly what God wanted.
