Daily Reading 9/24/05

“The thing that the Holy Spirit is detecting in you is the disposition that will never work in His service. No one by God can detect that disposition in you. Have you anything to hide from God? If you have, then let God search you with His light. If there is sin, confess it, not admit it. Are you willing to obey your Lord and Master whatever the humiliation to your right to yourself may be?
Never discard a conviction. If it is important enough for the Spirit of God to have brought to your mind, it is that thing He is detecting. You were looking for a great thing to give up. God is telling you of some tiny thing; but at the back of it there lies the central citadel of obstinacy: ‘I will not give up my right to myself’ – the thing God intends you to give up if ever you are going to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.” (Excerpt from today’s My Utmost for His Highest; Oswald Chambers)

“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me for I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” – Jesus; Matt. 11:28-30

“For a righteous man may fall seven times; and rise again . . .” – Proverbs 24:16
