“Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.”… not an immediate gratification for getting ready, living ready. Help me to delight in that delay as well as the realization of Your promises.
”follow at a distance” not up close like you’d prefer.
Are the water-heaping-up wonders not done because of a lack of
consecration and obedience? oh Lord, educate me in the school of
consecration and yieldedness. Wrench my pride and my comfort from me
that i may experience and participate in Your wonders of each day. Help
me to wait on Your ways rather than to be a full-time bridge-builder
over the Jordan’s in my life.
The previous consecration yielded the wonder of the next day. Where
am I setting my heart and mind each day? If I don’t daily choose
actively to pursue God, I am passively choosing not-God. This thing,
this life, this wondrous relationship won’t happen by accident or
neglect. Help me knowingly and willfully choose You everyday.
The LORD said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt you…”
Lord God,
Sovereign King of the Universe and my little life, help me not to worry
about what You’ve called me to do nor my reputation. If You desire me
to have impact, You will take care of those arrangements-I don’t need to
fuss with the details nor stress about connections. Keep me prayerful
and spiritually mindful of what You call me to do that I may be ready
for whatever journey or day trip You have planned for me. Lord, the
longer I live the more I know that I truly don’t know anything about how
to do this right and the more I realize how much I need You. I invite
You to show off extra big in my life, my heart and my spirit today that I
may increasingly and winsomely exalt You in those same places. and
beyond.
Thank You God and Father, Jesus and Savior, Holy Spirit and
Comforter, for doing what You say You will. You are faithful. And I
praise You for that quality this morning.
