The Lord has
never done or won anything by visible human strength. Nor has He held out for men who are better than others. There is only one standard, and that is the Blood. Do you wish you were smarter, more serene? More educated? Better looking? Are you holding back from service because you do not feel prepared? Faith prepares the Soldier, and nothing else. How far are you willing to follow the Lord? When that decision is made, it doesn't matter who He uses or how He does it. The one who has decided to follow Jesus can spot Him easily, and will drop all to run after Him. He doesn't wait for things to look like they are going to work out and he is about to enter the exquisitely beautiful realm of discipleship, where nothing from us is of any value except obedience. Did He lead you where you are now? Unless you know for sure He is restraining you, Soldier, get up and move on! |
