Strive

6/21/2020

1 Peter 2:9 “But ye are…a royal priesthood.”

Today, Chambers says this bold statement: “There is only one place where we are right, and that is in Christ Jesus.” Anything outside of our walk with Jesus is merely distraction from our purpose. We are, by in large, self-centered creatures. This, however, is NOT how God would have us be. Our inheritance is nothing less than Heaven, so why are we always so concerned about the temporal things of this life? The world presses in and often becomes bigger than our God. Why is that? Why do we have such a difficult time focusing on the Atonement and our purpose? I know for sure that this is true for me. Staying focused as everything around me pushes in is tough, although I think God expects me always to strive for exactly that.  

I am, as always, a work in progress.
