REFLECTION
“In my experience with the Lord, when He gives insight and understanding, He’s not a dictator. The Spirit of God will not force you to cooperate, to yield, to give your time or your treasure, or to invest your thoughts. But you’ll be awakened to it. It’s not usually like a blinding light, so that you have no choice. It’s more like walking outdoors, and catching a whiff of smoke, and realizing someone started a fire. So, you walk around to try to figure out where the fire is—especially if it smells like someone is cooking something good on it. In my life, that’s generally how it begins. When understanding comes to you, it may seem like something faint. But if you walk toward it, and you care about it, and you listen, and you’re trying to see, and you try to orient yourself to figure out how to receive it more, then you find some clarity on what’s happening. That’s the choice point. Am I going to choose obedience? Am I going to change? Am I going to repent? Am I going to align myself more fully with the Lord?”
- Allen Jackson
You can choose to either follow God or follow your own way, but when we consistently decide to follow Him, God’s blessings are released.
Heavenly Father, awaken Your people and pour out Your Spirit upon us in our generation. We thirst for Your presence in our midst. We are not content to rest at a distance. We want to see Jesus exalted. Grant us boldness, discernment, and courage to take our place in Your purposes. Strengthen us when we are weary. Only Your great strength can sustain us. Our trust is in You, Almighty God. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Make the most of this day. It will never return. But that which you put into it in the way of thoughts, prayers and deeds you will find again in eternity. So take care that you put in much love, faith and prayer, and you will have a rich harvest above.
