- The
beautiful Psalm and all the songs we have about "The Rock,
that is Higher than I" ought to have a profound effect on
us.
- Why is it
that we just don't seem to be able to let go? We can say all
the right things and can even quote the verses. But when the
rubber meets the road, there is resistance, and all that is in
us denies a life of faith - all, that is, except the places that
have been given deliberately to the Lord.
When was the last time you knelt
and said (outloud) "Yes, Lord, I give you my tongue and
all that comes from it"?
When was the last time you actually
said to Him, "I yield to the Word in place of my own perceptions"?
When was the last time you said
to Him " Lord, take each thought that anyone has about me
and do as you will with it"?
- My guess?
It has been a while.
In order to live a life actually given
to Him instead of a life oozing teaching about what has been said about
Him, I must give Him my body and my faculties each day.
I must do it outloud.
It is a deliberate act. And if
it is not executed as a deliberate act, I will run my own course
that day, and of course, that means either crashing or running
aground.
- I am
so, so grateful for the Rock that is higher than I!
