Today's "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers speaks of something that I have been thinking about a lot lately! Here is a portion of it:
Readiness
God
called unto him…and he said, Here am I. — Exodus 3:4
When God speaks, many of us
are like men in a fog, we give no answer. Moses’ reply revealed that he was
somewhere. Readiness means a right relationship to God and a knowledge of where
we are at present. .....
Readiness for God means that we are ready to do the tiniest
little thing or the great big thing, it makes no difference. We have no choice
in what we want to do, whatever God’s programme may be we are there, ready.
When any duty presents itself we hear God’s voice as Our Lord heard His
Father’s voice, and we are ready for it with all the alertness of our love for
Him. Jesus Christ expects to do with us as His Father did with Him. He can put
us where He likes, in pleasant duties or in mean* duties, because the union is
that of the Father and Himself. “That they may be one, even as We are one.”
Be ready for the sudden surprise visits of God. A ready person
never needs to get ready. Think of the time we waste trying to get ready when
God has called! The burning bush is a symbol of everything that surrounds the
ready soul, it is ablaze with the presence of God.
*mean: as used here, something or someone ordinary, common, low,
or ignoble, rather than cruel or spiteful.
AMEN! Let's never forget that OUR God IS GOD! Set your heart and mind to make yourself ready and available to HIM form whatever task that He has in mind for us today! AMEN! Here is Hillsong United with "GO"! (After gives you the assignment, then get up and GO!!!)
Shalom in Him!
