Can He who never changes be trusted enough to take you into the unknown?
Had I been Moses, would I have stretched out my hand over the Red Sea as God commanded?
Were I the widow, would I have tossed in my last mite?
If I were Nehemiah, would I have gone to do the impossible? And, would I have ignored all of the threats and intimidation?
Would I have given Elijah my last drop of oil and flour?
Would I have waited in the Upper Room?
Is there any chance I would have raised the knife to dash it through my only son of Promise?
Soldier of The Cross, we have a strange and wonderful God who never repeats Himself. The issue is, what can He do with you?
Has He changed, so that He does not require much?
Has He changed so that you may attend to your matters before attending to His?
Has He changed so that He can only be recognized by repetition?
Lord, as I stand before you tonight, you are my desire. I love everything about you. I love your people. I love your Word. I love what you have made and I love the way you do things. After all these years, I still reel sweetly in the revelation of the Grace that came after me.
Again tonight, I present myself as a Living Sacrifice and asked that you do anything in the deepest parts of me in order to bring about your likeness. You have always revealed yourself through your Own, and I want to stand in those ranks.
My Lord and my God.
