Psalms 99:

This year should start with putting God in His proper place in our mind and in our hearts.
many (some would say all) of our spiritual Problems come from God not having the right perspective.
what are some things that we exalt above God?
Money (Job)
Relationships
status (reputation)

Identity

Me time
when we put God in His proper place, then we have an grip on what to really be concerned about.
when we put God in His proper place then we come to understand who we are and where we are in the world.
we often put ourselves in the wrong place.
when you put God first all other things are able to be ordered.
there is no way we can put God higher than He already is but when we worship we calibrate our souls properly.
Don’t be Drawn away from Christ
1Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord.
For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe.
2Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilation!
3For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,
4though I also might have confidence in the flesh.
If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I more so:
5circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
P
6concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
when the Apostle Paul says it is for your safety, it is because we need to here the same things over and over to make them part of who you are.
it was once said repetition is the mother of all learning.
we need to here them over and over until we understand them and know them.
Paul here is specifically speaking of people who are trying to drag people back into Judaism and away from Jesus.
people today do not so much want to drag us into Judaism, they wanna drag people into a anonymous spirituality and a Generic God.
beware of manipulation of people who draw us away from Christ.
have no confidence in the Flesh
Philippians 3:3
here we see the Apostle Paul use a play on words.
circumcision, was the starting point for Judaism.
Our apostle that Christian circumcision, those that worship God in the spirit, Rejoice in Jesus Christ, and have no confidence in the flesh.
Philippians 3:
If anyone is to have confidence in the flesh It is The Apostle Paul:
He was circumcised on the eighth day:
Leviticus 12
when the Apostle Paul gives his linage, He gives his tribe Benjamin.
The Tribe of Benjamin stayed true to the Davidic covenant after the kingdom divided and was the tribe that Israels first King came from.
He was of the strictest sect of his day.
if you want proof of His zeal He persecuted the Church.
Acts 7
when it comes to the Law as far as human Judgement can be rendered blameless.
But we are called in verse 3 to avoid the flesh.
what are we confident in that we should not be ?
intellect
physical strength
skill/ work ethic
personality
looks
industry
wealth.
Family
this year lets have no confidence in the flesh; lets use our gifts, talents and advantages to the Glory of God.
