Shalom,
The message in today's "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers is one of the very best ever!
The
Never-Failing God
For He hath
said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. — Hebrews 13:5
What line
does my thought take? Does it turn to what God says or to what I fear? Am I
learning to say not what God says, but to say something after I have heard what
He says? “He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we
may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do
unto me.”
“I will in
no wise fail thee” — not for all my sin and selfishness and stubbornness
and waywardness. Have I really let God say to me that He will never fail me? If
I have listened to this say-so of God’s, then let me listen again.
“Neither
will I in any wise forsake thee” . Sometimes it is not difficulty that
makes me think God will forsake me, but drudgery. There is no Hill Difficulty
to climb, no vision given, nothing wonderful or beautiful, just the commonplace
day in and day out — can I hear God’s say-so in these things?
We have the
idea that God is going to do some exceptional thing, that He is preparing and
fitting us for some extraordinary thing by and by, but as we go on in grace we
find that God is glorifying Himself here and now, in the present minute. If we
have God’s say-so behind us, the most amazing strength comes, and we learn to
sing in the ordinary days and ways.
AMEN! Learn to trust inthe LORD and every Word that HE says! Here is Hillsong with "Say The Word":
Shalom in Him!
