Romans 15: 17-18 (part of 18)

Thomas Less, August 12, 2010

17Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God. 18I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me…

Jesus, it is obvious that everything Paul did in his life that was not done for You, he counts as nothing.  Only his service to You mattered at all.  Will I ever be like that?  Is there ever any chance that I could ever be me?  Lord, why can I not be so single minded?  I have so many worries and concerns of this world, and yet obviously none of it matters if it is not attached to my eternity, which is of course all about You.  The logic is so clear but the living is so obscure!  Please Holy Spirit, guide me and keep me and discipline me to a place where I also act only as You desire and live only to serve You.  *Romans15*
