Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

     We can not create our own light.
     I was reading a Watchman Nee devotional this morning and was reminded that we have no capacity to create Light.
     So much of the time when we feel backed into a corner, we do all we can to ignite anything we can grab. The common phrases are, " I have concluded," or I suspect," or It is likely. . ." or "I think that. . ."
     All of the phrases are human speculation and are an attempt to make our own light.
     Are you going to be a Soldier of the Cross, or not?
     If you are, it means doing thing the way the Master has ordained, and waiting for Him at His time and in His way. Others will press you for opinion and speculation. But as far as I can see in God's Word, that is sin.
     Moreover, it won't get you anywhere!
     He is the Light. We are the Light of the World. Why?
     Because we wait until we see. We speak from what we see.
     Oh, Soldier! Guard your mouth and listen to the Holy Spirit.
     The attempt to ignite a human light is equal to the igniting of false light and it it clearly condemned. When we see nothing, we stand still.
     We have a Proven Lord who is a Rescuer and will not let us down.
     After all, the scripture says, "No one who has waited for Him has ever been disappointed."
