Yet another month

Yet another month has passed. It brings thoughts of my birthday approaching and the feelings of failure and sad thoughts can be so easily evoked in me as I think that I am not "accomplishing" what I wanted and a voice saying, "I knew you could not do it." Yet the voice of truth tells me a different story. It tells me it's not about my performance, so I could feel better about myself.

What I am learning is that: God's purpose is that I depend on Him and on His power now. If I can stay in the middle of the turmoil calm and unperplexed, that is the end of the purpose of God. God is not working toward a particular finish; His end is the process-that I see Him walking on the waves, no shore in sight, no success, no goal, just the absolute certainty that it is all right because I see Him walking on the sea. It is the process, not the end, which is glorifying to God. (Oswald Chambers)

"I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me."

~Psalm 57:2

 

"The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me;

your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.

Do not forsake the work of your hands."

~Psalm 138:8

 

Lord, may I not look to myself. May I not see my failure, but may I see your victory. Help me to depend on You and on Your power.

 

Oh, Jesus. I cry out to God Most High, who fulfills His purpose for me. Your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Have mercy on me, O God. Do not forsake the work of your hands.

Keep CZECHING IN!
