Divine Efficiency

April 4 – Divine Efficiency

I am all-powerful and all-knowing and I have all your affairs in My Hands. Divine efficiency as well as Divine power is being brought to bear on them. All miracle-work is not the work of a moment as so often men imagine.

My servant Peter was not changed in a flash from a simple fisherman to a great leader and teacher, but through the very time of faithlessness — through the very time of denial — I was yet making him all that he should be. Impetuous spokesman as he always was, ready to lead the other disciples, Peter could never have been the after power he was, had he not learned his weakness. No man can save, unless he understands the sinner.

The Peter who was a mighty force for Me afterwards, who, more than all others, founded My church, was not even first the Peter who said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God,” but the Peter who denied Me. He who had tested My forgiveness in his moment of abject remorse, he could best speak of Me as the Savior.

The Kingdom of Heaven can only be preached by those who have learned to prize the authority of its Kingdom. A many-sided training My Apostles need. Oh! joy. Oh, rejoice. I love you. Not one test too much will I lay on you.

“That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory.” 1 Peter 11:7

Guidance Is Guidance

From the book God at eventide (www.twolisteners.org )

March 15 – Guidance Is Guidance

Be still before Me. How often in a crisis man rushes hither and thither. Rush is a sign of weakness. Quiet abiding is a sign of strength.

A few quiet actions, as you are led to do them, and all is accomplished wisely and rightly, more quickly and more effectually than could be done by those who rush about and act feverishly.

Guidance IS Guidance, the being led, the being shown the way. Believe this.

Softly across life’s tumult, comes a gentle Voice, “Peace, be still.” The waves of difficulty will hear. They will fall back. There will be a great calm.

And then the Still Small Voice of Guidance.

Who’s My Mentor ? ?

Some times i find no one to guide or to lead my spiritual life, at church there’s a youth leader, but it’s been a month since the group was made ,it’s supposed to be once a week, any way for the last month it was canceled each time because the leader is not availble or because someone is not coming because he had to travel for work for a while or something and we are not supposed to continue sessions with out him. anyway , this month i needed guidance the most, i was stumbling in so many ways, in so many issues , and since i needed help i couldn’t find, i prayed for God and asked who can help me ? , i am left alone, no one has time to help me ,to answer my questions, and i am having hard time now, i was astonished or shocked , because how can my spiritual life depends on someone or somepeople that at sometime they maynot be availble or here, i was sad actually and hopeless, many questions were in my mind and i couldn’t help it. Iam sure that many of you , feel the same, ( i hope you don’t actually ) but it’s  was the sad truth for me, no one is surrounding to help, the answer is in the following lines in psalm 119

m Mem

 97 Oh, how I love your law!
       I meditate on it all day long.

 98 Your commands make me wiser than my enemies,
       for they are ever with me.

 99 I have more insight than all my teachers,
       for I meditate on your statutes.

 100 I have more understanding than the elders,
       for I obey your precepts.

 101 I have kept my feet from every evil path
       so that I might obey your word.

 102 I have not departed from your laws,
       for you yourself have taught me.

 103 How sweet are your words to my taste,
       sweeter than honey to my mouth!

 104 I gain understanding from your precepts;
       therefore I hate every wrong path.

— notice with me the first verses :

 97 Oh, how I love your law!
       I meditate on it all day long.

– it  says here  ” I meditate on it all day long” the law which is God’s words to each one of us when one meditate on them (think of them, understand them, love them, hold them by his heart”- I am starting to get a clue-

 98 Your commands make me wiser than my enemies,
       for they are ever with me.

– the commands of God are making me wise…

 99 I have more insight than all my teachers,
       for I meditate on your statutes.

– I have more insight than all my teachers

the writer is saying that he is having more insight than all his teachers for he mditates on God’ statutes 

 100 I have more understanding than the elders,
       for I obey your precepts.

he is having more understanding than the elders because he obey’s God’s precepts.

 

what God told me then, that my mentor is God himself, I do need a youth leader, i do need to have a group in the church , but God is not going to leave me alone ,God is not going to leave me as a leaf carried by the wind that has no one to collect , God saying I am not leaving you , i will take care of you ,i will tell you what to do through my words , my law , my statutes my precepts, Don’t worry  they will make you wise, it will give you sight, it will give you understanding,.
