”And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; that ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;“
Philippians 1:9-10 KJV
Paul’s prayer, “I continue to pray for your love to grow and increase beyond measure, bringing you into the rich revelation of spiritual insight in all things. This will enable you to choose the most excellent way of all —becoming pure and without offense until the unveiling of Christ.“ Paul desires that we have a practical understanding of life in Christ so that we have the truth this insight reveals. This discernment brings reality to our experience of Christ that we apply to life; it becomes the path to finding what God approves, not just what He forbids. When God’s love, revelation and insight overflow into our discernment, we choose to look for that which is excellent and pleasing in God’s eyes. We choose what is best, not by law or rules, but by loving discernment. This brings us contentment. Let’s choose God’s loving discernment for that which is excellent in God’s eyes because we are in Christ. Amen!
