Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

 
      You will not be fired from being born again, nor can you resign or withdraw.
     So there. You have no way of going back, and besides, as my husband always says, no one has ever heard anyone say "I regret giving my life to Christ."
     We now live in a dimension where all is known, just not by us. We must learn to lean on the One who knows all, and has asked us to take His Word for it.
     This is the hard thing isn't it?  You have been running your own affairs for a good long time, and now it is time to learn to serve the One who runs your affairs. That is quite a switch, and many never make it.
     The consequences of not making the switch will become fully clear in Heaven, but here on earth, the problem is evidenced by massive insecurity and an obsessive and even abnormal need to have everything buttoned down and predictable.
     The only problem is that there will be an added measure of unrest because the resident Holy Spirit is grieved.
     We need only to come before Him, and tell Him honestly that we need to be led into rest. One thing at a time will come before us, and the Holy spirit will remind us of the instruction of God's Word. We then have only to obey.
     "Trust and obey - for there's no other way,
        To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey."
