‘If we are quietly waiting before God after He has
said to us, “Come aside by yourselves . . .” then that is meditation before Him
to seek His will (Mark 6:31). Beware, however, of giving in to mere daydreaming
once God has spoken. Allow Him to be the source of all your dreams, joys, and
delights, and be careful to go and obey what He has said. If you are in love
with someone, you don’t sit and daydream about that person all the time— you go
and do something for him. That is what Jesus Christ expects us to do.
Daydreaming after God has spoken is an
indication that we do not trust Him.’ CHAMBERS
James
4:17 “If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do
and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.” Sounds pretty harsh doesn’t it? If God tells us to do something and we don’t
do it, we are sinning .. missing the mark … missing God. We mostly treat God’s commands and
suggestions. And why is that? Because we
don’t trust God with our lives. Oh, we trust Him for eternal life .. but that
is for later .. for now, we will do our best to figure out what is best. If that happens to be coincident with God’s
will .. great! The Bible gives specific
direction to all Believers .. and then God will give each of us specific direction … we
treat it all the same … obedience “IS” always a function of trust. And trust is a function of love. If we don’t obey God, we are missing the mark … and
missing out on God’s best for us.
