Neither you nor I know what is best for us.
We have the Word of God, and so we have Light for living. We are aware of the things that feel good, that feel bad and we evaluate everything around based on what we think the result will be.
Because He has said that He alone knows what is best and will withhold no good thing from us, we disobey unless we agree with Him. The attitude must be one that reflects truth. Real truth. Not just our assessment of the circumstances.
What is your attitude about change?
About being stretched?
About loss?
About forgiveness?
May He do absolutely anything with your life? Or are there limits?
In the vastness of His depth there is the assurance that He does not make mistakes.
He has called you and you have responded. He is asking for a response that reflects absolute trust concerning the unknown and the things that seem to threaten security. After all, there is no security outside of a faith-walk.
Soldier of The Cross, everything falls under this.
The living sacrifice does not lie on the altar, all the while fretting and moaning about his position. He chose to be there and his attitude is that of one who has set aside his right to run his own life. He does not wave a list of grievances. He now belongs to another and will not have anything to do with a diluted purpose.
For the Soldier of The Cross, attitude is something that is predetermined. It happens in prayer. Standing before the Lord and praying to be changed makes more room for the Holy Spirit. Agreeing with God allows the Christian to wear an attitude that reflects the Lord.
What a privilege!
