I don't usually do this, but I am going to make it three days in a row of using "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers because this is another vital teaching for those desiring to do the will of God! The definition for TRUE prosperity is 'being where God wants you to be, doing what God wants you to do'! THIS exhortation, when heeded, should get you much closer to being in that place!
The Initiative Against
Dreaming
Arise,
let us go hence. — John 14:31
Dreaming about a thing in
order to do it properly is right; but dreaming about it when we should be doing
it is wrong. After Our Lord had said those wonderful things to His disciples,
we might have expected that He would tell them to go away and meditate over
them all; but Our Lord never allowed “mooning” When we are getting into contact
with God in order to find out what He wants, dreaming is right; but when we are
inclined to spend our time in dreaming over what we have been told to do, it is
a bad thing and God’s blessing is never on it. God’s initiative is always in
the nature of a stab against this kind of dreaming, the stab that bids us
“neither sit nor stand but go.”
If we are quietly waiting
before God and He has said – “Come ye yourselves apart,” then that is
meditation before God in order to get at the line He wants; but always beware
of giving over to mere dreaming when once God has spoken. Leave Him to be the
source of all your dreams and joys and delights, and go out and obey what He
has said. If you are in love, you do not sit down and dream about the one you
love all the time, you go and do something for him; and that is what Jesus
Christ expects us to do. Dreaming after God has spoken is an indication that we
do not trust Him.
AMEN! Walking in faith means to step out when you know WHAT to do, trusting HIM to lead, guide and direct those steps that follow! He WILL! There is ALWAYS at least one step that you can take in the direction of the calling and instructions that God has given you! He will NOT give you the entire picture, but He will, most certainly, give you A step! Now take that step and get ready for the next and the next. This life of faith is a life of progressive revelation and obedience, repeated over and over again! Cast the CARE on HIM and JUST MOVE! Here is Hillsong United with "Oceans - Where Feet May Fail":
Shalom in Him!
