April One My Utmost For His Highest
Do crises which affect us or others in our home, church, business, country, or elsewhere, seem to be crushing in on us? Are we being pushed out of the presence of God and left with no time for worship? If so, we must put a stop to such distractions and get into a living relationship with God such that our relationship with others is maintained through the work of intercession, where God works His miracles.
Beware of getting ahead of God by your very desire to do His will. We run ahead of Him in a thousand and one activities, becoming so burdened with people and problems that we don’t worship God, and we fail to intercede. If a burden and its resulting pressure come upon us while we are not in an attitude of worship, it will only produce a hardness toward God and despair in our own souls. God continually introduces us to people in whom we have no interest, and unless we are worshiping God the natural tendency is to be heartless toward them. We give them a quick verse of Scripture, like jabbing them with a spear, or leave them with a hurried, uncaring word of counsel before we go. A heartless Christian must be a terrible grief to our Lord.
Are our lives resting in His Presence so that we may participate in the intercession of our Lord and the Holy Spirit? Have we already forgotten our vibrant resounding responses “He is risen indeed” at yesterday’s Easter services? Worshiping the Son TODAY TOMORROW & BEYOND is key for dealing with those lingering unresolved distasteful devastating distractions destroying yesterday’s peace this morning. Choose to Wake Up Worshiping!
