Today's "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers is one that is especially real to ME!
The Glory That’s Unsurpassed
…the Lord Jesus…has sent me that you may receive your sight…
— Acts 9:17
When Paul received his sight, he also received spiritual
insight into the Person of Jesus Christ. His entire life and preaching from
that point on were totally consumed with nothing but Jesus Christ— “For I
determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him
crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2). Paul never again allowed anything to attract
and hold the attention of his mind and soul except the face of Jesus Christ.
We must learn to maintain a strong degree of character in
our lives, even to the level that has been revealed in our vision of Jesus
Christ.
The lasting characteristic of a spiritual man is the ability
to understand correctly the meaning of the Lord Jesus Christ in his life, and
the ability to explain the purposes of God to others. The overruling passion of
his life is Jesus Christ. Whenever you see this quality in a person, you get
the feeling that he is truly a man after God’s own heart (see Acts 13:22).
Never allow anything to divert you from your insight into
Jesus Christ. It is the true test of whether you are spiritual or not. To be
unspiritual means that other things have a growing fascination for you.
I have found that whatever captivates my mind is what I spend the most time thinking about - constantly! My greatest desire is that my heart will be single focused on JESUS and HIS plan for my life, which will always include sharing HIS life with others! When I DO that, I find that my enjoyment of every other thing in my life increses, with great joy! I hope that you have found, and learned to maintain, your intimacy with the KING of all kings and the LORD of all lords! Here is Hillsong with "Through It All":Shalom in Him!
