…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?
