Morgellons - Tracy's Devotional

STREAMS IN THE DESERT by L.B. COWMAN

Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have
believed. (John 20:29)

How important it is for God to keep us focused on things
that are unseen, for we are easily snared by the things
we can see! If Peter was ever going to walk on the water,
he had to walk, but if he was going to swim to Jesus, he
had to swim. He could not do both. If a bird is going to
fly, it must stay away from fences and trees, trusting the
buoyancy of its wings. And if it tries to stay within easy
reach of the ground, it will never fly very well.
God had to bring Abraham to the end of his own strength
and let him see that with his own body he could do
nothing. He had to consider his own body "as good as
dead" (Heb. 11:12) and then trust God to do all the work.
When he looked away from himself and trusted only God,
he became "fully persuaded that God had power to do
what He had promised" (Romans 4:21).
This is what God is teaching us, and He has to keep
results that are encouraging away from us until we learn
to trust Him without them. Then He loves to make His
Word as real to us in actuality as it is in our faith.
(A.B. Simpson)

I do not ask that He must prove
His Word is true to me.
And that before I can believe
He first must let me see.
It is enough for me to know
It's true because He says it's so.
On His unchanging Word I'll stand
And trust till I can understand. (E.M. Winter)

STREAMS IN THE DESERT by L.B. COWMAN

Jesus answered, "You could have no power at all against
Me unless it had been given you from above."
(John 19:11)

Nothing that is not part of God's will is allowed to come
into the life of someone who trusts and obeys Him. This
truth should be enough to make our life one of ceaseless
thanksgiving and joy, because God's will is the most
hopeful, pleasant, and glorious thing in the world. It is
the continuous working of His omnipotent power for our
benefit, with nothing to prevent it if we remain surrendered
and believing.
Someone who was passing through the deep water of
affliction wrote a friend:
Isn't it glorious to know that no matter how unjust
something may be, even when it seems to have come
from Satan himself, by the time it reaches us it is God's
will for us and will ultimately work to our good?

"And we know that in all things God works for the good
of those who love Him" (Romans 8:28). Think of what
Christ said even as He was betrayed: "Shall I not drink
the cup the Father has given Me?" (John 18:11).
We live fascinating lives if we are living in the center of
God's will. All the attacks that Satan hurls at us through
the sins of others are not only powerless to harm us but
are transformed into blessings along the way.
(Hannah Whitfall Smith)

In the center of the circle
Of the will of God I stand:
There can come no second causes,
All must come from His dear hand.
All is well! for it's my Father
Who my life has planned.

Shall I pass through waves of sorrow?
Then I know it will be best;
Though I cannot tell the reason,
I can trust, and so am blest.
God is Love, and God is faithful.
So in perfect Peace I rest.

With the shade and with the sunshine,
With the joy and with the pain,
Lord, I trust You! both are needed,
Each Your wayward child to train,
Earthly loss, if we will know it,
Often means our heavenly gain. (I.G.W.)

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON

Likewise, you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed
to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:11

God never ceases to speak to us: but the noise of the
world without, and the tumult of our passions within,
bewilder us and prevent us from listening to Him.
(Francois Fenelon)

PRAY ABOUT IT: It's hard to know which is more
distracting to our prayers --- the pull of the world with
its distractions or the tug of our own passions to fulfill
their every desire.
But in the middle of it all is the voice of God speaking to
us, quite loudly actually. Listen to Him today --- reckon
yourself alive to God and dead to the world and to your
flesh.

The first and last stages of holy living are crowned with
praying. (E.M. Bounds)
