Today’s QT – Psalm 78
Psalm 78 sums up 6 books of the Bible…Exodus-Judges. What would take 3 months to read if you spent 15 min. per day is summed up for us here in a brief, 3 minute overview.
What we learn through the instruction of Asaph is truly that, anything God does thru us is in spite of who we are as sinful mankind…but He can do so much more than we allow Him to…we limit Him by not becoming 100% dedicated to the greatest life any Christian could ever hope to live, the life of building the church of the living God!
To do less is unthinkable, and limits God, and could spell the end of this place long before another generation comes and goes.
It’s time the people of God realize they are limiting the Father’s work here in the church. It’s time we stop praying, ‘God, use me’, and start praying, ‘God, make me usable’. This happens when we realize that He wants to do greater works than we can imagine, and He wants this place to become a saving refuge like no other in the area, full and overflowing!
That’s why He left us here…it’s why He led you here…you can do it, you can reach others w/ God’s help, if you’ll commit to the task, and take responsibility in your generation, and just believe it’s possible…to do less would be to limit God!
I don’t like what I see in Israel. And often when we don’t like someone, it’s because they remind us of ourselves. Personality conflicts come when we butt heads w/ someone much like us. And so, we could point our fingers at Israel and ask them why they made such an easy task, such a short journey, into such a long, drawn out, impossible feat…but rather than do that, we should look in the mirror and say, how can I avoid doing the same thing.
The Bible says that the “dog returns to his vomit, and the pig to wallowing in the mud”
We need to stop the cycle of going in circles…constantly returning to the same sins over and over again, and get victory and go forward, doing greater things for God than we ever even considered we could do.
How can we ever become conquerors when we’re constantly a casualty?
