There is a very good exhortation for us in today's devotion from "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers:
Daydreaming about something in order to do it properly is right, but daydreaming about it when we should be doing it is wrong. In this passage, after having said these wonderful things to His disciples, we might have expected our Lord to tell them to go away and meditate over them all. But Jesus never allowed idle daydreaming. When our purpose is to seek God and to discover His will for us, daydreaming is right and acceptable. But when our inclination is to spend time daydreaming over what we have already been told to do, it is unacceptable and God’s blessing is never on it. God will take the initiative against this kind of daydreaming by prodding us to action. His instructions to us will be along the lines of this: “Don’t sit or stand there, just go!”
I LOVE that the exhortation is to spend the necessary time in fellowship with the One, True God in order to receive His individual instruction for our lives. THEN, we must get up and get going! Thinking about obeying God brings NO rewards, but obedience DOES! AMEN! Here is Hillsong United with "Go", because we MUST!
Shalom in Him!
