November 18, 2016: SOAP #2542:  Ps 124, 2Cor 11-13

Scripture:  2Corinthians (NIV) 13:11 Finally, brothers, good-bye. Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.

Observation:   Paul is now closing his letter with a few short remarks.  “Aim for perfection” caught my attention.

Application:   I am so thankful that my salvation depends on His work and not my works.  My proper response to His great love and sacrifice for me should be to do the best I can.  After all God has done for me, I should never take a “good enough will do” attitude about what I do for Him.   To honor God, I should “aim for perfection” and do my best for Him.

Prayer:    Heavenly Father, may my attitude and the things I do for you bring joy to your heart.  May the things I do and the way I do them glorify you.  Amen
