The Baffling Call of God

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Verse: “And all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man shall be accomplished….And they understood none of these things.“
– Luke 18:31, 34

Quote: “If we are in communion with God and recognize that He is taking us into His purposes, we shall no longer try to find out what His purposes are.”

It is of no concern to us where God is leading, we are but to follow. We should never focus on, or even desire the end result. Our goal should be obedience, and our joy in the consistency in which we follow lest our future becomes brighter than the God who is present.

After Obedience–What?

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Verse: “And straightway He constrained His disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side…”
 – Mark 6:45

Quote: “His purpose is for this minute, not for something in the future.”

As Christians, we think of obedience as the first step towards God’s will for our lives. What Chambers is reminding us this morning is that obedience is God’s will for our lives. “What we call the process, God calls the end.”

God knows where He wants you 15 years from now, but it is immediate obedience that He is interested in. He gives you visions and dreams, but wants you to work them out now in your day to day life. Stop right now and ask God to speak to you; your only goal in view should be immediate obedience to His leading.
