Confidence In The Flesh

“Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed [is] not grievous, but for you [it is] safe. Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. | Philippians 3: 3

All false religionists, even though they might profess Jesus Christ to be their Savior, put their trust in something they have done; something they believe enables God to accept them.

In doing so, they are saying that what Jesus Christ did was not enough. They openly and publicly declare that they saved themselves, blatantly denying that Jesus Christ is their Savior. Brethren, “God has made us accepted in the Beloved.” (In Christ) “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.” (Unmerited favor) (Ephesians 1: 6-7)

When God gives His gift of faith to a hell-deserving sinner, we not only enter into His rest, we also cease from our own works as God did from His; giving our Great Triune God all the glory for His unspeakable gift. (Hebrews 4: 10; I Corinthians 1: 26-31)

The True Grace of God

When things spin out of our control, when well-laid plans, indeed, go awry, when carefully crafted back-up plans blow up in our faces, and all that we had expected to happen vaporizes into what actually happens, we are reminded that it is God’s will and not ours that shall be done, and we are humbled into our proper place and God is exalted to His proper place.

“Our God is in the heavens, He has done whatsoever pleased Him.”

And that is good.

The Lord Thinks On The Poor And Needy

“But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.” | Psalm 40: 17

What comfort there is for my soul to read that though I am nothing but sin… nothing but the lowest, most vile sinner, the Holy God thinks on me. God’s thoughts toward the poor and needy sinner are thoughts of mercy and grace to deliver us from our great sin.

The word thinketh means more than just to ponder about in the mind. It is the same word often translated imputed. God’s thoughts are the same as God’s action because God always accomplishes His will. When God thinks on the poor and needy sinner, He purposes to impute to them everything they need.

They are needy sinners so God gives them grace to forgive.

They are poor sinners so God gives them His rich grace.

They are in the prison of sin so God sends the Deliverer to set them free.

They are too weak to endure any trial or difficulty so God sent His Son to carry them all the way home on His shoulder.

“Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.” (Psalm 40: 5)
