I had a wonderful good visit from a friend from church who
asked me, “How are you physically and spiritually?” My answer to him was, “Physically, I feel
like I did when I was 33, no aches or pains, just old age. The problems I am experiencing in old age are
that I am so slow, and I get in my own way.
I also feel like I’m in everyone’s way and feel a sense of awful
ignorance.
God never works out of human strength. The strongest man is the weakest man in the
kingdom of God, and the weakest the strongest.
The holy apostle said, “When I am weak, then I am strong” (1 Corinthians
12:10). You can turn it around and say,
“When I am strong–whenever I feel that I can do it–then I am weak.” A.W. Tozer said, “I’ve been preaching since I
was 19 years old, and now I’m 63. And
yet, after all these years of preaching, I come into the pulpit shaking inside
– not because I feared the people, but because I fear God. It is the fear and trembling of knowing that
I stand to speak of God, and if I don’t speak rightly about God, what a
terrible error it will be. If I talk
about evil of God, what a frightful crime!
It is only when I speak well of God that I dare sleep at night without
asking forgiveness.
Weakness was what Daniel thought after he had been talked
to by God. “I set my face toward the
ground, and I became dumb. . . . There
remained no strength in me” (Daniel 10:15, 17).
That’s the effect: self–deprecation and a sense of impurity. Isaiah said, “Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean
lips” (Isaiah 6:5). It is a feeling of
absolute profanes.
NOTE: This will make you laugh -- I googled AI and asked,
“Why do old people get tired so easily?” Her answer came back, “because they
are old.”
The
wonderful brother who came to visit is, to me, an extraordinary example of a teacher. The reason I say, “example teacher,” is
because he is an example of everything he teaches. In one of his Sunday School Classes, he
taught us to keep a time journal and did that.
I am going to share with you what I wrote in my time journal after he
left. 10:30 AM – I thank you for my
brother’s visit. I don’t think he will
ever imagine how much I enjoy his fellowship.
We lifted you up, Jesus, and could feel your drawing us closer to
you. I don’t have to tell you about the
visit because you were here. You heard
everything that was said even before we met together. Thank you, Jesus!?.
Then Jesus said to me, “COME EAGERLY
INTO MY ARDENT PRESENCE, inviting ME to satisfy you with My unfailing
Love. The best time to seek My Face is
in the morning, soon after you awaken.
Connecting with Me early sets the tone for the rest of the day. My endless Love is immensely satisfying: it
helps you know you are treasured and significant. It reminds you that together, you and I can
handle the circumstances of your day.
Knowing you are forever loved energizes you and gives you the courage to
persevere through difficulties.
In capturing My loving Presence in the
morning, I invite you to sing for joy and be glad. Think about the astonishing revelation of
meeting with the One who is King of kings and Lord of Lords in the privacy of
your home. Rejoice that your name is
written in the Lamb’s book of Life-- with indelible ink! Take time to enjoy My Presence. Speak or sing praises; read Scripture and
pray. The light shines in the wondrous
truth that nothing in all creation can separate you from My Love!
Psalm 90:14, satisfy us in the
morning with your unfailing Love, that we might sing for joy and be glad all
our days.
Revelation 19:16 NASB, And on His
robe and on His thigh He has a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Revelation 21:27, nothing impure
will ever enter it (heaven), nor will anyone who does what is shameful or
deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
Romans 8:39, Neither height nor
depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the Love
of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
