You Are Not Reading This By Chance – It Is THE WILL of GOD for You!

And Moses said unto THE LORD, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since THOU has spoken unto THY servant: but I am slow of speech, slow of tongue (Exodus 4:10).
After forty years in the wilderness, we find Moses tending the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law. The adopted son of Pharaoh, a prince of Egypt who fled after murdering an Egyptian. Raised in the finest schools, a confident young man who saw the plight of his Hebrew brothers and deliberately killed a man. Now we find this very same man – Moses – chosen by GOD to deliver the people of Israel.
“I am slow of speech, slow of tongue said Moses to the Lord.” (Exodus 4:10)
How does GOD choose a deliverer? Paul said, with weakness, fear, and much trembling, I preached unto you the gospel (1 Corinthians 2:3-4). After forty years, Moses could no longer rely on his understanding and his thoughts; he was afraid of himself. This highly educated man, once confident, stood dumb before THE LORD. THE LORD said to Moses, “Now therefore go, I will be thy mouth, I will teach you what to say (Exodus 4:12). Now Moses was ready for the calling, and now Moses was ready to serve HIS purpose according to The WILL of GOD.
As you proceed in the CHRISTian life, you begin to find a lessening, a loss of faith in yourself; your thoughts and your understanding come to nothing. Your overwhelming confidence is replaced with fear and weakness. You begin to learn Not to trust the flesh and any of its resources. Eventually, you come to a place of no confidence in the flesh. That is when GOD can use you. HE can become your mouth and will teach you what to say. Your will becomes HIS WILL. Your way becomes HIS WAY. Your words become HIS WORDS and, in your weakness, will be HIS Strength.
I find, over the years, that GOD weakens us, but at the same time, HE replaces it with HIS STRENGTH, HIS SPIRIT, and HIS WAY. More weakening means more SPIRIT, more Power in THE LORD.
Finally, I have no confidence in myself, but all my confidence is in THE LORD, and in that confidence, I get to see the demonstrations of The Power of An ALMIGHTY GOD EL SHADDAI.
What a glorious day.
Amen
And GOD Saw The Light, That It Was Good, And GOD Divided The Light From The Darkness. (Genesis 1:4)
Penned by Minister Charles Spurgeon
Inspired by The HOLY SPIRIT
Light might well be good, since it sprang from that command of Goodness, “Let There Be Light” (Genesis 1:3). We who enjoy it should be more grateful for it than we are and see more of GOD in it and by it.
Physical light was said by Solomon to be sweet, but Gospel light is infinitely more precious, for it reveals eternal things and ministers to our immortal natures.
When THE HOLY SPIRIT gives us spiritual light and opens our eyes to behold “The Glory of GOD in The Face of JESUS CHRIST” (2 Corinthians 4:6), then we also behold sin in its true colors and ourselves in our real position. We see the MOST HOLY GOD as HE reveals HIMSELF, the plan of mercy as HE offers it, and the world to come as The WORD describes it.
Spiritual light has many beams and prismatic colors, but whether they are knowledge, joy, holiness, or life, they are all divinely good. If the light received is thus good, what must the essential LIGHT be, and how Glorious must the place where HE reveals HIMSELF be!
O LORD, since light is so good, give us more of it, and more of YOURSELF, THE TRUE LIGHT. No sooner is there a good thing in the world than a division is necessary. Light and darkness have no communion. GOD has divided them; let us not mistake them.
Sons of light must not have fellowship with deeds, doctrines, or deceits of darkness. The children of the day must be sober, honest, and bold in their LORD’s work, leaving the works of darkness to those who will dwell in it forever. Our churches should, by discipline, divide the light from the darkness, and we should, by our distinct separation from the world, do the same.
In our judgments, actions, relationships, teaching, and listening, we must discern between the precious and the vile and maintain the great distinction that THE LORD made on the world’s first day.
O LORD JESUS, be our LIGHT throughout the whole of this day, for YOUR LIGHT is the LIGHT of men.
Amen.
