5/23/2017 0 Comments My Utmost 5/23Today when I was reading My Utmost For His Highest by Oswald Chambers it talked about the worries of our lives being infidelity to our Lord. He basically says that worrying squeezes God out of our lives because worry says "I don't trust you with this." I just wanted to share this with you. It certainly got me thinking about some things.

4/17/2017 0 Comments April 17, 2017Today after reading in My Utmost For His Highest I read John 21. This chapter show the repentance of Peter. Peter jumps from the fishing boat leaving the fish behind, and he answers Jesus's questions about loving Him three times. The disbelief and fear we see in Peter before, forgiven by Jesus who does not hold a grudge about it. That is good news for us because we have all messed up at one time or another as well.

8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves. Today's reading in My Utmost For His Highest by Oswald Chambers led me to the above passage. Mr. Chambers states that Jesus is calling Philip into a closer relationship with Him. Chambers makes the point that our greatest fulfillment in life is an intimate relationship with the Lord. I also see in this passage that Jesus is the Lord. That whomever has seen Him as seen the Father. To a certain extent it could also be said that this is how people see Jesus today. Jesus and the Holy Spirit are within me. Can people see the Father in my life? |
