STREAMS IN THE DESERT by L.B. COWMAN
Nothing will be impossible for you. Matthew 17:20
It IS possible for believers who are completely willing to trust the power of the Lord for their safekeeping and victory to lead a life of readily taking His promises exactly as they are and finding them to be true.
It IS possible to daily "cast all your anxiety on Him" 1Pet 5:7
and experience deep peace in the process.
It IS possible to have our thoughts and the desires of our hearts purified in the deepest sense of the Word.
It IS possible to see God's will in every circumstance and to
accept it with singing instead of complaining.
It IS possible to become strong through and through by
completely taking refuge in the power of God and by realizing that our greatest weakness and the things that upset our determination to be patient, pure, or humble provide an opportunity to make sin powerless over us. This
opportunity comes through Him who loves us and who works to bring us into agreement with His will, and thereby supplies
a blessed sense of His presence and His power.
All these are DIVINE POSSIBILITIES. Because they are His
work, actually experiencing them will always humble us,
causing us to bow at His feet and teaching us to hunger and thirst for more.
We will never be satisfied with anything less---each day, each hour, or each moment in Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit---than WALKING WITH GOD. (H.C.G. Moule)
We are able to have as much of God as we want. Christ puts the key to His treasure chest in our hands and invites us to take all we desire. If someone is allowed into a bank vault, told to help himself to the money, and leaves without one cent, whose fault is it that Christians usually have such meager portions of the free riches of God? (Alexander Maclaren) |
