A Full Understanding Of Every Good Thing In Christ

I want to share this time the entry I made today in my handwritten journal, an extremely beneficial tool that I use in my quiet time with the LORD.

I learned today just how valuable witnessing is in the believer's continual quest to know God more and more. You would think that witnessing is to the benefit only of the person on the receiving end of it. Not so. It is actually also to the advantage of the Christian doing the witnessing:

Scripture:
"I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints. I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ." (Philemon 1:4-6) [Emphasis added.]

Observation:
The apostle Paul is already thankful to God for Philemon and the members of the church that meets in his house for their faith in Jesus Christ and their love for all the saints. Still, Paul mentions praying that they may be active in sharing their faith as they may yet have a full understanding of every good thing believers have in Christ!

Application:
I must upgrade my witness to Christ and the gospel. I will testify even more to His goodness to me. I want to have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Jesus Christ.

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, please fill me. Empower me to witness boldly in the Name of my personal Savior and God, Jesus Christ. For it is in His sweet name that I pray. Amen.
