Today's "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers is EXCELLENT!
God’s Say-So
He hath said…so that we may boldly say… — Hebrews 13:5-6
My say-so is to be built on God’s say-so. God says — “I will
never leave thee,” then I can with good courage say — “The Lord is my helper, I
will not fear” — I will not be haunted by apprehension. This does not mean that
I will not be tempted to fear, but I will remember God’s say-so. I will be full
of courage, like a child “bucking himself up” to reach the standard his father
wants. Faith in many a one falters when the apprehensions come, they forget the
meaning of God’s say-so, forget to take a deep breath spiritually. The only way
to get the dread taken out of us is to listen to God’s say-so.
What are you dreading? You are not a coward about it, you
are going to face it, but there is a feeling of dread. When there is nothing
and no one to help you, say — “But the Lord is my Helper, this second, in my
present outlook.” Are you learning to say things after listening to God, or are
you saying things and trying to make God’s word fit in? Get hold of the
Father’s say-so, and then say with good courage — “I will not fear.” It does
not matter what evil or wrong may be in the way, He has said — “I will never
leave thee.”
Frailty is another thing that gets in between God’s say-so
and ours. When we realize how feeble we are in facing difficulties, the
difficulties become like giants, we become like grasshoppers, and God becomes a
nonentity. Remember God’s say-so — “I will in no wise fail you” (rv).
Have we learned to sing after hearing God’s key-note? Are we always possessed
with the courage to say — “The Lord is my helper,” or are we succumbing?
When WE say what GOD says, then HE will move Heaven and earth to see to it that HIS WORD will come to pass! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "King of Kings"!:
Shalom in Him!
