“...filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.” Philippians 1:11 - (ESV)
The verse selected for today is part of a prayers by the Apostle Paul. The prayer is for abounding love, real knowledge, and all discernment. The end result is that we who believe become able to recognize and approve things which are excellent leading to sincere life that will carry us until the day of Christ Jesus' return. Our promise is that we have been filled by God with the fruit of righteousness and it comes to us through Jesus Christ. So the prayer is for us to become aware of this promise and to live according to it. Because we have been filled, we can praise God because it is all for His Glory that we strive for righteousness. What we have is the promise that because God is working through us in Christ, He is making us people who abound with love in real knowledge and discernment that leads to the glory and praise of God. Let's think on this today and let it direct what we think, what we say, and what we do.
