Approve What Is Excellent

And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;

¹⁰That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.

¹¹Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.Phil 1:9-11

I’ve prayed this passage for my children, for my husband, for other believers. I’ve even prayed it for myself.

This morning I prayed specifically that God would help me approve what is excellent as a mother and wife. I have many choices before me today. Some are harmless, but not excellent. Some choices are quite short-sighted.

God is my portion, regardless of what the day may hold, and I can glorify Him by my responses. Praying that these would be good and right today.

I’m back from a trip to Florida with my family and some friends. We visited Clearwater Christian College with some prospective students. I was hoping to have some posts written ahead, but alas, this goal never materialized. Nevertheless, it was a good trip, but it’s great to be home.
