“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Tuesday; August 12, 2008

          I recently came across a quote from Don Miller who observed, “It is the process that is godliness, not so much the end result. A godly man will involve himself in the process of being godly. For godliness is not so much a place we are going as it is the going itself.”

          As I contemplated Mr. Miller’s observation, I was drawn to the idea of godliness being a process of living, not a place in life.  Since we will never be perfect, we can never “arrive” at godliness; therefore we must just keep trying to do good and grow closer to God.  There is no way that we can be good enough to be satisfied, so, we have to find contentment in the pursuit.  In our quest for godliness, we will celebrate victories throughout our journey; but, we’ll never arrive at our eventual eternal destination on our own. 

          Where are we on our walk with God?  Are we making progress?  If we are making the effort, never contented with where we are, we are closer to godliness than we have ever been before.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
