Quiet a racing heart, a racing mind, your plans for your day.
Dare to sit in the stillness of this day with Me.
Dare to, I say, because it may not have anything to do with your plans.
Funny how this is one of My constant Reminders.
You have ached to surrender yourself to Me and each day I offer you this great opportunity.
Just remember to ask Me to lead you and not the other way around.
Do you think I bless what you are going to do for Me according to your plans??
Funny, again, how we feel inclined to promise God that we are going to do all sorts of things to the Glory of His Name.
Yet, how can you, a mere mortal, raise up what your plans are to My Glory?
Did you forget that you surrendered yourself to Me so you have no plans to offer to Me?
It may seem like a fine line, yet really it is a huge line.
Either you surrender ALL and are obedient to Me, OR you plan to do good, nice things hoping that my efforts will satisfy Your Will.
It can become complex can’t it when we try to do all good things for God.
How do we know His Stamp of Goodness is on each one?
Yet, if/when we surrender ALL of ourselves down to fingernails and toenails, then we will definitely know that ALL we do is directed by Him and this is ALL GOODNESS.
Do not become confused by your good deeds for God and His Good Deeds He wishes you to do.
BIG difference.
Yet it takes a humble contrite heart to recognize the difference and to act on it.
So, once again, ache for humility so you then can see more clearly what God wants for you, for your life.
Humility brings obedience and obedience brings joyful service.
Now, looking at these Words, do we see how we can best serve God for His Glory and Goodness to the World?
