October 2

Isaiah 66:1-24; Philippians 3:4-31; Psalm 74:1-23; Proverbs 24:15-16

Lord Jesus,

We want to know you and know the power of your resurrection (Ph. 3:10).  We want to experience the fellowship that comes from sharing - just in part - in your sufferings.  We want to become like you in your death: obedient, purified, given new life.

We are far from this point, but we are committed to moving toward this desire (Ph. 3:12).  We do not want to be held back by our past.  We are no longer captive to our sin.  Instead, we look ahead and move forward in faith (vs. 13-14).

You gave us so very much through your death, burial, and resurrection.  "Let us live up to what we have already attained" (Ph. 3:16).

Amen.
