So here we are... another day to glorify the LORD... what will I do with today? Will I use it up on myself? Or will I abandon everything as an offering to the LORD? Is it all about me, or is it all about HIM?
May the Holy Spirit help us each to discern our part in eternity today...whether we rest in utter contentment and revel in His comfort...or we agonize and partake of our Lord's sufferings--let us rest in Him.
When we fully trust in Him, we cease to struggle. We let go and let God have His way with us. A drowning man can be saved when he relaxes against the lifeguard, but when he struggles and fights he can take down his strongest support into the depths with him. Panic cannot see its way free, but a mind held captive in Christ's can move mountains with faith.
"Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you: But rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy." 1 Peter 4:13
