MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON
Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is
ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for
which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13-14
I have learned to see a need of everything God gives me,
and want nothing that He denies me. Whether it be taken
from or not given me, sooner or later God quiets me in
Himself without it. I cast all my concerns on the Lord, and
live securely on the care and wisdom of my heavenly
Father. (Joseph Eliot)
PRAY ABOUT IT: The things God has given you were
given because He saw your need of them. In His role as
Father, He then provided them --- missing nothing.
The things you have been denied you never really
needed. They are not for you. Lot's wife looked back longingly at something she couldn't have, and it meant her
destruction. Those who were willing to leave Sodom behind
and look ahead to God's provision, selected for them, were
saved.
Look ahead.
Forget the things you don't have. you don't need them
at all.
You had better be a poor person and a rich Christian,
than a rich person and a poor Christian. You had better
do anything and bear anything and be anything than
a dwarf in grace. (Thomas Brooks)
