…not necessarily what’s best for ME.

Waiting for the death penalty while shackled to a prison guard wasn’t BEST for Paul.
But it was best for the advancement of the Gospel.
(Philippians 1:12)

Being beat to shreds on a criminal’s cross wasn’t BEST for Jesus.
But it was the only way to procure salvation for those He came to redeem.
(Matthew 26:42)

Ultimately God’s best is what’s best for me.

But in the meantime:
If what’s BEST for the cause of Christ doesn’t happen to be what’s BEST for ME…
am I okay with that?

This morning I read this from one of the Blogs that I read on a regular basis. I wanted to share it with you this morning because it is so true, yet so hard to see, when we are in the middle of the "story" yet when we are able to look back or see things from Gods perspective we can see how God's best is/was God's best.
