Today’s Monday meditation asks us to
evaluate our trust in God and our desire to risk everything for Him.
Psalm 23:4
Yea,
though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Psalm
9:10
Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, Lord, have
never forsaken those who seek you.
John
12:26
Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also
will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.
Be willing to go out on a limb with Me. If that is
where I am leading you, it is the safest place to be. Your desire to lead a
risk-free life is a form of unbelief. Your longing to live close to Me is at
odds with your attempts to minimize risk. You are approaching a crossroads in
your journey. In order to follow Me wholeheartedly, you must relinquish your
tendency to play it safe.
Let me lead you step by step through this day. If your
primary focus is on Me, you can walk along perilous paths without being afraid.
Eventually, you will learn to relax and enjoy the adventure of our journey
together. As long as you stay close to Me, My sovereign Presence protects you
wherever you go. (Jesus Calling, Sarah
Young, Thomas Nelson, Inc., 1993)
Selflessness
Prayer
O Dearly beloved Word of God, teach me to be generous, to serve Thee as
Thou dost deserve, to give without counting the cost, to fight without fretting
at my wounds, to labor without seeking rest, to spend myself without looking
for any reward other than that of knowing that I do Thy holy will. Amen.
