Not By Works, 2
The works of the spirit are not the works of the flesh. Jesus worked while it was day. He knew that night was coming, but joy comes in the morning. The Joy that He has is more significant than anything we can imagine. His work is and will always be greater than ours, so we must follow His example.
Our forefathers earned their reputations because they were consistent and skilled and worked. Would you want a surgeon who had never been to school? Would you want a healthcare professional who couldn't pronounce your medicines? If your answer is no, then you have chosen the correct answer because, in Hebrews 12, it clearly says what we all will make mistakes and correction for those mistakes don't make us happy, but the fruit of righteousness that comes with experience and work will give us peace.
John 17:2-3
As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
The eternal, all-sufficient God, Ehyeh asher Ehyeh (Exodus 3:14), we thank You for Your works of the spirit and not of the flesh. We praise You for the joy which comes in the morning, for that joy is greater than the ocean. We decree and declare blessings upon those who work by faith for the completion of this assignment, so that; by the work that we do by Faith will give power to the Body of Christ. Now, for the Kingdom and the Glory of God, we petition, with anointing in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior, Amen.
