I want to share THIS today, from Oswald Chambers' "My Utmost For His Highest".
The Viewpoint
Now thanks be to God, which
always causeth us to triumph in Christ. — 2 Corinthians 2:14
The viewpoint of a worker for God
must not be as near the highest as he can get, it must be the highest.
Be careful to maintain strenuously God’s point of view, it has to be done every
day, bit by bit; don’t think on the finite. No outside power can touch the
viewpoint.
The viewpoint to maintain is that
we are here for one purpose only, viz., to be captives in the train of Christ’s
triumphs. We are not in God’s showroom, we are here to exhibit one thing — the
absolute captivity of our lives to Jesus Christ. How small the other points of
view are — “I am standing alone battling for Jesus”; “I have to maintain the cause
of Christ and hold this fort for Him.” Paul says — “I am in the train of a
conqueror, and it does not matter what the difficulties are, I am always led in
triumph.” Is this idea being worked out practically in us? Paul’s secret joy
was that God took him, a red-handed rebel against Jesus Christ, and made him a
captive, and now that is all he is here for. Paul’s joy was to be a captive of
the Lord, he had no other interest in heaven or in earth. It is a shameful
thing for a Christian to talk about getting the victory. The Victor ought to
have got us so completely that it is His victory all the time, and we are more
than conquerors through Him. “For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ.” We
are (encircled) with the odour of Jesus, and wherever we go we are a wonderful
refreshment to God.
Our attitude, as born again, Spirit-filled believers, should NOT be that we are trying to GET the victory, but that we already HAVE the victory, through JESUS CHRIST our LORD! AMEN! Start EXPECTING God to confirm His Word in our lives with signs and wonders and miracles! We are not waiting on God! HE is waiting on us! He is waiting for us to step it up and begin to ACT like children of the Most High God! AMEN! Here is Hillsong Kids with "As The World Shakes":
Shalom in Him!
