Waiting on the Lord

07/19/2025
Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
Philippians Letter 3:2-4


I know, I know you might not know what a concision is at first. Though our God has loved us first and life within him found. Thus, there is nothing there that was not so called before and nothing that escapes him from his will. Certainly there is no shadow there of turning. Some of us I fear like to scrape and do it well not out of need but from ever present greed. Our God already has everything there that we would need. It is found within his Table, the altar of his blood, the ministration, sacrament there the untouchedness with his love. You may have heard it all before. You go to church you know the lines. Dogs refer to something the Lord had kept outside, those without mercy shown to them even those that have had masters even. Despite the crumbs, nothing chnages what was done. Just like that the Samaritan woman who came to Jesus for healing for her child had faced a choice. Serving Jesus was not that strange it seemed to me to have and hold or let him be. Thus the evil workers would creep in from what has been said or done to him. At first the concision sounds like a division though it could be short and sweet with nothing said between the lines and least of all with but a knowledge of the heart of God. Paul being circumcised bore in his body the mark of God at times. That is not to say that circumcision will get you all you ever hoped to be. Just as he had said before the circumcision however outward bodily profited but little without the heart of God. Thus the circumcision for it given to those who would be obedient to the Father of spirits and live. In his might having put on Christ again a clothing as it were of just the Son of God. At this point the division grows between by what is said and what is meant by those. Thusly the spirit is what is found within the lines and whatever else would spring to heart and mind. Just as in the coming days of but the Lord of the shadow of the temple waiting as though it were of the city revealed from Heaven. Let down there so in such a fashion just as of the end that mattered. In this then is there no confidence in the world that so does appear as it were made of clay that waits for but the coming day. In this is Paul’s flesh just for but the least of those. A shape, a form that takes up space and nothing more. Though the only confidence that is given is just in that the calm assurance of the Son. In this then, it shows just how far we have come. Then Paul starts up his tune again.


2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellow labourers, whose names are in the book of life.
Philippians 4:2-3


Perhaps you do not know these people very well. You may not even know them yet am sure. Till there space for grace within with what you have learned as well so that the ages with them swell. These steered our hearts and minds that would touch upon the grace of God and that then too the roads we often trod that led us straight to God. That is the whole goal is it not to be known of him as well. Not that the issue or the trial is knowing other ones. Only before the Lord to whom we would have come. Thus the Lambs book of life and knowing him is all we hoped to ever need or find.
