Runneth All Over

02/15/2026

That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.

To All the Saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi 2:15-17

In fact, there comes a no fault to them that are knowing the Lord. To them which be in Christ as the Scripture has said they are new creations indeed. Old things would not you know have passed away and behold all things have become new. Though it follows that sometimes we have got our stuff jacked up as much as the next person if not then so. Then it would follow when we are no longer looking, acting, or smelling like our Father in Heaven that he has to come along and right all our wrongs. So too does he collect us as though from a mighty long way to the praise of his glory in Heaven. Though to what purpose it is now, and herein is the crookedness and perversion seen. Our God would rather though we lit up the darkness with the light of himself, candles raised above us high reaching to places that our God would meet each no matter the need or wherever they have been. Though as Paul would have said it, if there is something that interfered with our shining, best just to seek unto him and cause him to come and clear it again. Indeed, there is not a day that goes by apart from his promise nor so too that we could not rest in his care. Suffice to say that in all this our God is still working to his good and his glory all things in his Word. So that if there is some rejoicing to be found then with him, it is that he is straightened the paths then instead and established them just with his Word. Indeed, it is a no-fault relationship being blameless if you had rathered just of his Son. Though when it comes on down to it, all this we have suffered so that we might be to the praise of the glory above. It is not that we were taking the Saviors place there for ourselves nor yet able to bring ourselves in any way there. If that were the case, then would we not even be needing the Word of the Lord. Though Paul has it before him much as a mirror or a map to show where he is at. When it comes to knowing the paths and ways you should go, our God knows them all so very well. He is God is not he and it is time he took his place in our lives. Thus, the effort is not just of us then but rather of him. Paul though also well knows that there is those who would have carried on just about as though running a race for their lives. In fact, they have worked so very hard all for kingdom rewards and in the end, I was afraid some of them will face a what are you doing that for. So that if there is any good left to be seen in our lives, it points it is way back to the Father above. So too can we hope to be found as called unto and after his love. Certainly, it is not as though Paul had just barged on in walking all over some peoples faith claiming first place and also who is best. Rather though he came to preach the gospel of Christ wherever he went that all men might hear, come to a knowledge, and so too then believe. Then again, that is where the offense of the cross comes in at once again. Though it is not an offense to those who have trusted but rather an offering almost as that of a life well spent for the Lord. Hence though with so many lives saved and changed and, on the way, to glory or at least he had thought so then truly, Paul doubtless felt some sort of way about it that you would soon see down here below. That is to say though when it is a life rooted and grounded in him and well lived for the Lord why should not there be some earthly rewards. Though when you were called by him and built up in his power, there comes forth a not in vain from the Lord. He is a God ready and able to save all you see no matter wherever they be. Though when it comes to the Fathers house there is just him waiting and him in his love. Without knowing the Father, I was afraid, there will not be no joining him there.
