Utmost today begins with a heading "Why cannot I follow thee now?"
John 13:37
We want immediate understanding, don't we? Peter loved Jesus, but there seems to have possibly been a touch of arrogance in him as he tells Jesus what He should or should not do.
Is Jesus not the Christ?!
How do I treat Jesus in my life in ways that are similar to the way that Peter did in this instance? Do I treat Jesus in my life in ways that Peter did, assuming in what he portrayed as humility, to know better than Jesus? Lord - search me and know me, show me if there is any offensive way in me.
Chambers says:
"There are times when you cannot understand why you cannot do what you want to do. When God brings the blank space, see to it that you do not fill it in, but wait. The blank space may come in order to teach you what sanctification means, or it may come after sanctification to teach you what service means."
"Never run before God's guidance."
I love how year after year day by day this devotional speaks new truth to me.
I pray that it speaks truth to you as well.
Palms up...offering all that i am to God.
