Let's part company


And quarreling arose between Abram’s herders and Lot’s. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land at that time.
So Abram said to Lot, “Let’s not have any quarreling between you and me, or between your herders and mine, for we are close relatives. Is not the whole land before you? Let’s part company. If you go to the left, I’ll go to the right; if you go to the right, I’ll go to the left.”
GENESIS 13:7-9

There is no good person except one - Jesus Christ. If not for him there is no life - no standard - no truth. All good is less then the greatness of King Jesus. All good is done such that you keep yourself one foot from the fire - the fire of faith - the fire of purity - the unknown fear of following the invisible God. 

Good does not measure up. Good is failing. Christ Jesus came such that his life - his spirit - his love can pour through us from him. He is the river of living water and from his life all life is given. There is no standard of good - only to be given over to Christ Jesus.

When life is lived based on the personal notion of making good your goal, the enemy than becomes the good. For life in Jesus is based on faith and doing his will. God has chosen your path and he asks you to walk with him along the path so he will guide you.
