Shalom,
I really love today's "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers!
The Great Life
Peace I leave with you, My peace I
give unto you.… — John 14:27
Let not your heart be troubled. — John 14:1
Whenever a thing becomes difficult in
personal experience, we are in danger of blaming God, but it is we who are in
the wrong, not God, there is some perversity somewhere that we will not let go.
Immediately we do, everything becomes as clear as daylight. As long as we try
to serve two ends, ourselves and God, there is perplexity. The attitude must be
one of complete reliance on God. When once we get there, there is nothing
easier than living the saintly life; difficulty comes in when we want to usurp
the authority of the Holy Spirit for our own ends.
Whenever you obey God, His seal is
always that of peace, the witness of an unfathomable peace, which is not
natural, but the peace of Jesus. Whenever peace does not come, tarry till it
does or find out the reason why it does not. If you are acting on an impulse,
or from a sense of the heroic, the peace of Jesus will not witness; there is no
simplicity or confidence in God, because the spirit of simplicity is born of
the Holy Ghost, not of your decisions. Every decision brings a reaction of
simplicity.
My questions come whenever I cease to
obey. When I have obeyed God, the problems never come between me and God, they
come as probes to keep the mind awake and amazed at the revelation of God. Any
problem that comes between God and myself springs out of disobedience; any
problem, and there are many, that is alongside me while I obey God, increases
my ecstatic delight, because I know that my Father knows, and I am going to
watch and see how He unravels this thing.
AMEN! What confidence it give to be in the will of God for our lives! TRUE prosperity and success is BEING where GOD wants us to be and DOING what GOD wants us to do! Let's make that our continual goal! To STAY in the center of HIS WILL for US! There IS no better and more blessed place to be! Here is Hillsong with "From The Inside Out":
Shalom in Him!
