The Secret
I have been set aside these last few weeks. I thought I’d share with you a bit of what God has been impressing on me.
Elisabeth Elliot
“The secret is Christ in me, not me in a different set of circumstances.”
Change for change sake is not the answer. The secret is believing. Trusting that God means what He says. He is with us and within us always.
John Piper
”God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.”
God created our hearts with a thirst that can only be satisfied in Him.
Psalm 63:1
“O God, Thou art my God. I shall seek Thee earnestly. My soul thirsts for Thee. My flesh yearns for Thee, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.”
The Psalmist reminds us that our entire being literally longs for God and no matter what else we seek to fill that void, that God-sized vacuum in each of us can only be satisfied when He is truly our first love. When we earnestly seek Him above all others.
Hudson Taylor describes “The Secret”
“It is the exchanged life…. No longer I…” No thought of imitating Christ. Rather, “It was in the blessed reality: ‘Christ liveth in me’…
“No longer bondage, but liberty. Instead of failure, quiet victories within; instead of fear and weakness, a restful sense of sufficiency in ANOTHER.
Encouragement
I Thessalonians 5:24
“Faithful is He who calls you and He also will bring it to pass.” He promises! He keeps His promises.
1 Thessalonians 5:28
”The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.”
