Day 71
Since God knows what niche we are to fill, let us trust Him to shape us to it.
Since He knows what work we are to do, let us trust Him to drill us to the proper preparation.
“O blows that smite! O hurts that pierce
This shrinking heart of mine!
What are ye but the Master’s tools
Forming a work Divine?”
-Streams In The Desert
God gives us the vision,
then He takes us down to the valley to batter us into the shape of the vision,
and it is in the valley that so many faint and give way.
Every vision will be made real if we have patience.
The vision is not a castle in the air, but a vision of what god wants you to be.
Let Him put you on His wheel and whirl you as He likes,
and as sure as God is God and you are you,
you will turn out exactly in accordance with the vision.
Don’t lose heart in the process.
If you have ever had the vision of God,
you may try as you like to be satisfied on a lower level,
but God will never let you.
-Oswald Chambers – My Utmost For His Highest
YOUR WAY – NOT MINE!
