There isn't one thing in
the Kingdom of Heaven you can have by understanding it.
Each thing must come by revelation,
and that comes through prayer. Yes, it is possible to be born
again and see everything looking like "men as trees
walking".
And the brighter you are, the more
important it is to press diligently before the Lord in prayer,
because don't forget, "sense and reason without the Holy
Spirit is death" (Romans 8).
What are you trying to figure out
today?
Let me ask you this: even with
all your knowledge, can you figure out (without the "correct
answer") the building of the ark?
The sawing in half of the prophet Isaiah?
Paul's difficult imprisonment and his
being abandoned by all but one?
Nine lepers who would not say thank you?
Lord
Jesus, I confess the tendency to want to understand.
The greatest thing that cannot be understood is your Grace. Please
do whatever it takes to put in me the heart of Grace needed
to minister your Life. I do know that the thing needed
to save me was Grace that was greater than all my sin,
and what sustains me is your love, which continues to minister
Grace that is greater than all my sin.
Lord, I choose again afresh to
make you Master of all, and I submit to even what I do not understand.
Please take my life and use it to demonstrate the quality of
Grace that left the Throne above and condescended to save the
likes of me.
