Acts 16:3 (Timothy being prepared to go with the Apostle Paul) "Him (Timothy) would Paul have go forth with him: and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek"

Life is filled with choices.

For a Christian the choices begin with "Is this right?" Yet it does not end there.

You see Paul had Timothy circumcised not out of a question of right or wrong. We know this because the Bible is clear that circumcision (along with any law keeping) is not required for salvation.

Then why? Because Paul was asking the second question that we all should ask "What is best for the cause of Christ?"

This one act was best for the work of God in Timothy's life at this time.

The question for us today is this. "Are we doing what is best for the cause of Christ?"

Are we willing to ask God to show us what we should change, add or alter within our daily choices so that the work of Christ can be more effective?

This year we are being challenged to pray "Lord, glorify yourself at my expense today."

Asking and dealing with the question of what is best for the cause of Christ is a good way to practice that prayer!

Hope you have a great week serving our great God.
