Day #2457

September 22, 2020

Today’s Tuesday’s Thoughts on Scripture is from Philippians 2:9-11: Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (NRSV)


There does not seem to be anything to add to or comment about with this scripture. This is the hope and prayer of every Christian, correct?! That every knee bend and every tongue confess Jesus is Lord? And perhaps a job description for every Christian - to spread the word so that all should know and believe in Jesus. 


But then Paul goes on to say in verse 13, “for it is God who is at work in you, enabling you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.” So there we go - this is essentially the work of the Holy Spirit. And, the work of God to sort us all out at some point. Thanks be to God that isn’t my job! But to help spread the word...well, that is another story. 


Blessings. And prayers.
