I've been longing to come up with something profound to put on this page, some unique and enlivening insight into some passage of scripture. But I have been hindered by the Lord. I have actively pursued my Lord, His way and will, since I was 19 years old. That was 60 years ago, you do the math. The last several years I felt as though I have not done enough. Looking back at 30 years distributing " Christian literature", being actively involved in a wonderful fellowship that I've always felt was an experiment in the Grace of God for at least that long, and yet I felt that I don't have much to show for it. And the Lord has boiled down my dissatisfaction to showing me that my flesh is concerned about my reputation, it's not big enough. And yet the very mind of Christ teaches us our Beloved Savior made Himself of no reputation and took upon Himself the form of a servant.(Phil.2:3-8)
And since I am such a slow learner, my God has brought forth two major events to cause me to bow before His Will. His purpose for me seems to be to quiet my heart and it's lust for activity and recognition and that purpose will be brought to pass according to His Will rather than mine. And so His way with me at the moment seems to be through a car accident that's taken away my wheels and a physical issue(unrelated to the accident) that has restricted my overall activity. I'm being brought to abide with the words of an Old Saint that I have proclaimed many times to others, "I need to set low at His feet and watch His hand." My Good and Gracious and Glorious Sovereign God does what He wills in the affairs of men and it's to bring forth His Glory and for our good. And so the purpose of my limitations are to dull my supposed glory that His Glorious Radiance might show forth in those wonderful small ways that magnifies His Name. And so I bow before his will and seek to humbly be still.
