Shalom,
Today's "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers is another very inspiring one!
The Secret Of The Lord
The secret ["friendship,"]
of the Lord is with them that fear Him. — Psalm 25:14
What is the sign of a friend? That he
tells you secret sorrows? No, that he tells you secret joys. Many will confide
to you their secret sorrows, but the last mark of intimacy is to confide secret
joys. Have we ever let God tell us any of His joys, or are we telling God our
secrets so continually that we leave no room for Him to talk to us? At the
beginning of our Christian life we are full of requests to God, then we find
that God wants to get us into relationship with Himself, to get us in touch
with His purposes. Are we so wedded to Jesus Christ’s idea of prayer — “Thy
will be done” — that we catch the secrets of God? The things that make God dear
to us are not so much His great big blessings as the tiny things, because they
show His amazing intimacy with us; He knows every detail of our individual
lives.
“…him shall He teach in the way that
He shall choose.” At first we want the consciousness of being guided by
God, then as we go on we live so much in the consciousness of God that we do
not need to ask what His will is, because the thought of choosing any other
will never occur to us. If we are saved and sanctified God guides us by our
ordinary choices, and if we are going to choose what He does not want, He will
check, and we must heed. Whenever there is doubt, stop at once. Never reason it
out and say — “I wonder why I shouldn’t?” God instructs us in what we choose,
that is, He guides our common sense, and we no longer hinder His Spirit by
continually saying — “Now, Lord, what is Thy will?”
AMEN! As we increase our intimate fellowship with HIM, communicating with HIM will become just like breathing! VITAL and CONSTANT! Here is Hillsong with "Like Incense":
Shalom in Him!
