Shalom,

I REALLY like today's "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers! Our GOD is SO good and He loves US with such a powerful and magnificent LOVE that we cannot even comprehend the scope of it! Meditating on this devotional helps! 

What You Will Get

Thy life will I give thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest. — Jeremiah 45:5

This is the unshakable secret of the Lord to those who trust Him — I will give thee thy life. What more does a man want than his life? It is the essential thing. “Thy life…for a prey” means that wherever you may go, even if it is into hell, you will come out with your life, nothing can harm it. So many of us are caught up in the shows of things, not in the way of property and possessions, but of blessings. All these have to go; but there is something grander that never can go — the life that is “hid with Christ in God.”

Are you prepared to let God take you into union with Himself, and pay no more attention to what you call the “great things”? Are you prepared to abandon entirely and let go? The test of abandonment is in refusing to say — “Well, what about this?” Beware of suppositions. Immediately you allow — “What about this?” it means you have not abandoned, you do not really trust God. Immediately you do abandon, you think no more about what God is going to do. Abandon means to refuse yourself the luxury of asking any questions. If you abandon entirely to God, He says at once, “Thy life will I give thee for a prey.” The reason people are tired of life is because God has not given them anything, they have not got their life as a prey. The way to get out of that state is to abandon to God. When you do get through to abandonment to God, you will be the most surprised and delighted creature on earth; God has got you absolutely and has given you your life. If you are not there, it is either because of disobedience or a refusal to be simple enough.

Stay thankful every day for the LOVE of GOD and all that is contained in that! You will soon find yourself being more aware than ever before of the many, many little things that HE does for you, and then the big things will seem even more profound! Our GOD is GOOD! ALL the time! HALLELUJAH! Here is Hillsong with "God Is Great":
