Wastelands

There are dry, fruitless, lonely places in each of our lives, where we seem to travel alone, sometimes feeling as though we must surely have lost the way. What am I doing here? How did this happen? Lord, get me out of this!

He does not get us out. Not when we ask for it, at any rate, because it was He all along who brought us to this place. He has been here before--it is no wilderness to Him, and He walks with us. There are things to be seen and learned in these apparent wastelands which cannot be seen and learned in the "city"--in places of comfort, convenience, and company.

God does not intend to make it no wasteland. He intends rather to keep us--to hold us with his strength, to sustain us with his sure words--in a place where there is nothing else we can count on.

"God did not guide them by the road towards the Philistines, although that was the shortest...God made them go round by way of the wilderness towards the Red Sea" (Ex 13:17,18 NEB).

Imagine what Israel and all of us who worship Israel's God would have missed if they had gone by the short route--the thrilling story of the deliverance from Egypt's chariots when the sea was rolled back. Let's not ask for shortcuts. Let's keep alert for the wonders our Guide will show us in the wilderness.

Ye have not yet resisted unto blood , striving against sin . Hebrews 12:4

What is the meaning of Christian suffering ?Unless we are called to martyrdom, our resisting and striving against sin has not reached the point of bloodshed. Nevertheless, we deplore our lot. Do we expect to have a prosperous road in this life ---to wear a white linen garment and walk leisurely on a golden street leading to a pearly gate?

God has arranged all kinds of environment , all sorts of happenings and many sufferings,all with a view to creating in each of his children a certain character which will glorify Him. To be scourged may be the evidence of His approval. Chastisement is love's arrangement . Love measures and love plans . God may not deal thus with everyone , but He certainly does so with those whom He has accepted as sons (& daughters ). Watchman Nee

I love this song.

Hugs & Blessings,

SPIRITUAL SUNDAY

His Joy, Our Joy

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.Hebrews 12:2

" I am like the butterfly just preparing to slip out of its old cocoon ,panting for the life outside ,but with no experience to tell what kind of life that outside life will be . But I believe with all my heart that the apostle told the truth when He declared that "eye hath not seen , nor ear heard ,neither hath it entered into man's heart the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him." (1Corinthians2:9)And what better prospect could the soul have !

Then will be fulfilled the prayer of our Lord ," Father,I will that they also, whom thou hast given me ,be with me where I am ; that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me ." (John17:24)

That glory is not the glory of dazzling light but it is the glory of unselfish love .I have had a few faint glimpses of this glory now and here,and it has been enough to ravish my heart . But there I shall see him as He is , in all the glory of an infinite unselfishness which no heart of man has ever been able to conceive ; and I await the moment with Joy ." ---------- Hannah Whitall Smith

"And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life's span?So if you can't do a small thing like that, why worry about other things?"Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these." Luke 12:25-27
