Jesus Christ is Almighty
“The reason some of us are such poor examples of Christianity is that we have failed to recognize that Christ is almighty. We have Christian attributes and experiences, but there is no abandonment or surrender to Jesus Christ. When we get into difficult circumstances, we impoverish His ministry by saying, ‘Of course, He can’t do anything about this.’ We struggle to reach the bottom of our own well, trying to get water for ourselves. Beware of sitting back, and saying, ‘It can’t be done.’ You will know it can be done if you will look to Jesus. The well of your incompleteness runs deep, but make the effort to look away from yourself and to look toward Him.”
Oswald Chambers
MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST
Once again, I find myself pondering the words of Oswald Chambers as they pierce through my mind, directly to my heart. How many times do I try to do things myself, in my power and time, without either consulting God or allowing Him to direct me? I either think that I can do something in my own strength (my pride gets in the way) or I think it can’t be done (sin of arrogance). I forge ahead, stumble and blunder. I fail to acknowledge that Jesus is Almighty, can do all things and doesn’t need me to do anything. Jesus forgive me for getting in Your way!
Surrender
Let’s not live with regret or ever forget.
Jesus is Almighty; His love true.
We must not put Him in a box or place limits on what He can do!
We must daily die to self; surrender our will.
We must pray and ask the Holy Spirit our lives to fill.
We must trust Him and wholeheartedly obey.
We must do His work; He is coming soon, one day!
