What You Are Being Given

What you are being given now and later is a great gift. Consider every word of God to be a gift from God. You do not know of any eventual outcome in specific detail. You must use enormous faith in trying to deal with these matters. However, look at the great gift of words God has given to you in His scripture. Your experience with His word is not different than all the other words and gifts God has given you. The meaning and the eventualities of the words He has given you are different in some respects. What you are missing here is that the words of His scripture are not just about you. His words and their meanings, and the eventualities are also about others. Look at the three directives. The directives are about others. Your work is about others. Do not get lost in thinking all of this experience is about you. Put others first in this experience. Think about doing the Lord's work for others rather than putting yourself at the front of every thought.
