My Utmost For His Highest
‘There is only one
relationship that really matters, and that is your personal relationship to
your personal Redeemer and Lord. If you maintain that at all costs, letting
everything else go, God will fulfill His purpose through your life. One
individual life may be of priceless value to God’s purposes, and yours may be
that life.’ CHAMBERS

| Jesus Nut |
What do you think about that? ‘There is
only one relationship that really matters.’
On a helicopter there is a nut that the pilots call the “Jesus nut” because
that is the only thing between you and Jesus.
That nut hold the main rotor system onto the mast. If it comes off .. the helicopter becomes a big
rock in the sky. Not good! Pa Bon! You might argue the Jesus nut is the only one
that matters … certainly all of the other ones
.. there are hundreds .. have their purpose .. but they don’t matter if
the Jesus nut is missing.
And
that is Chambers’ point. If your
relationship with Jesus is not right .. If He is missing in your life … then
the others don’t really matter ..at least not in the eternal context .. well,
not really in the natural context either.
Jesus keeps things together … Where is Jesus in your life .. where is He
really .. not where is He supposed to be.
We know what the right answers are .. but often we fail in applying them
to our lives. There is a bigger story … God’s plan for mankind … the spiritual
context … everything else flows out from that …
the natural man thinks it is foolishness .. He thinks it is the other
way around .. There is a term .. conventional wisdom .. it makes sense to men,
but not necessarily to God. It’s natural
and seems right to our flesh.
1 Corinthians 1:21-29 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world
through wisdom did not know God, it
pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who
believe. For Jews request a sign,
and Greeks seek after wisdom; but we
preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks
foolishness, but to those who are
called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of
God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is
stronger than men. (26) For you see your calling, brethren, that not
many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called But
God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and
God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which
are mighty; and the base things of the
world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which
are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence.
John 14:6 Jesus reminds us that He
is the way, truth and life … that doesn’t leave much room for other
alternatives …
