Fear

-

Fear of man and acceptance is real. It also reveals what we care about most. 

What have you been worshipping? 

What are you worshipping?

What rules your heart? 

How does that affect you?

Reminders to ask myself daily.

 “For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.” Habakkuk‬ ‭2‬:‭3‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Title - “The Patience To Wait for the Vision” Underlines: “Patience is not the same as indifference; patience conveys the idea of someone who is tremendously strong and able to withstand all assaults.” “Having the vision of God is the source of patience…” “A person who has the vision of God is not devoted to a cause or to any particular issue – he is devoted to God himself.” “You always know when the vision is of God because of the inspiration that comes with it. Things come to you with greatness and add vitality to your life because everything is energized by God.” “It is a bad thing to be satisfied spiritually.” “Our reach must exceed our grasp.” “ If we have only what we have experienced, we have nothing. But if we have the inspiration of the vision of God, we have more than we can experience.” “...

 “for we walk by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭7‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Title - “Faith - Not Emotion” Underlines: “None of us would be hidden spiritually if we could help it.” My note - because we want the glory  “A self-assured saint is of no value to God. He is abnormal, unfit for daily life, and completely unlike God. We are here, not as immature angels, but as men and women, to do the work of this world.” “If we continually try to bring back those exceptional moments of inspiration, it is a sign that it is not God we want. We are becoming obsessed with the moments…” “Never live for those exceptional moments- they are surprises. God will give us His touches of inspiration only when He sees that we are not in danger of being led away by them.” Notes: Paraphrasing the closing line - the moments of inspiration are not the standard, our work by walking in faith is. I have had those mountain top moments. Then been in the valley and wondered where God was. Desiring to get back to th...

 “Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud…” 1 Corinthians 13:4 Title - “Spontaneous Love” Underlines: “Love is not premeditated – it is spontaneous; that is, it bursts forth in extraordinary ways.” “We don’t deliberately set the statements of Jesus before us as our standard, but when His Spirit is having His way with us, we live according to His standard without even realizing it. And when we look back, we are amazed at how unconcerned we have been over our emotions, which is the very evidence that real spontaneous love was there.” “… fountains from which love flows are in God, not in us…. His love is there only because it ‘has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit…’ (Romans 5:5).” “ If we try to prove to God how much we love Him, it is a sure sign that we really don’t love Him. The evidence of our love for Him is the absolute spontaneity of our love, which flows naturally from His nature within us.” Note: His nature in us means we have to be a...
