This morning I was chewing on
what's the important stuff...
Paul gets a final letter out to Tim - his son in the Lord
just before he is to be executed...
Paul says,
"The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack
and will bring me safely to
His Heavenly Kingdom." ref 2Tim 4:18
What!
That doesn't sound like a
Rescue!
That sounds like the rescue
Fail!
I thought about that.
Paul's concern wasn't about
Dying
it was about missing the goal posts
it was about
being diverted by evil
from the plan of God
to bring him into
the promise of
Heaven.
Cool!
Lord,
I am reminded that
Your value system
is different than mine...
that death of this mortal body
isn't a big deal to You
But
the big deal
IS
death of my faith...
diversion from listening for You.
Thank You Jesus
for that reminder.
and that You do
Rescue me
from every evil attack
that would divert me from
You.
Yeah.
