Will You Go Wherever He Leads?

My Utmost For His Highest

 

“I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some” —1 Corinthians 9:22

 

“A Christian worker has to learn how to be God’s man or woman of great worth and excellence in the midst of a multitude of meager and worthless things. […] All of God’s people are ordinary people who have been made extraordinary by the purpose He has given them. […] It is not that you have gotten God, but that He has gotten you. God is at work bending, breaking, molding, and doing exactly as He chooses. And why is He doing it? He is doing it for only one purpose— that He may be able to say, “This is My man, and this is My woman.” We have to be in God’s hand so that He can place others on the Rock, Jesus Christ, just as He has placed us.” CHAMBERS

 

We don’t really understand the spiritual significance of our obedience to the call of God.  There are things at work, secret spiritual things, that God is doing in the lives of others in light of our obedience to Him.  He has a purpose for you.  You can choose to fulfill it or not.  God will not be swayed either way, but you will miss out on something eternal if you choose to go your own way.  I was talking with Samuel Mezidor, the Haitian that works with us as we delivered food for the children at the schools yesterday.  I was telling him that I often test men’s hearts by asking them to do something menial … like sweep the floor or something else.  I told him that their response to that request tells me about their hearts … are they servants?  Are they willing to do something that they normally don’t do?  Or do they think that they have too much to offer that they should not be asked to do something that is “beneath” them. Perhaps they feel they are too skilled or too educated.   Some pass and some fail.

 

Matthew 20:25-28 “But Jesus called them to Himself and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."”

 

What are you willing to do?  Where are you willing to go? What are you willing to give up? ELGIN

 

Wherever He Leads I’ll Go

 

“Take up thy cross and follow Me,"  I heard my Master say;  "I gave My life to ransom thee,  Surrender your all today."

Wherever He leads I'll go,  Wherever He leads I'll go,  I'll follow my Christ who loves me so,  Wherever He leads I'll go.

He drew me closer to His side,  I sought His will to know,  And in that will I now abide,  Wherever He leads I'll go.”
