Today’s Thought “Derailment” G. Ward

“I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” Galatians 2:20

What is the likelihood of you boarding a train that is bound to crash? As the morning produces new mercies, the dispensation therein is with contingency; will you yield to the Controller of life, or propose your own directives as more trustworthy (cf. Isa.55:8-9)? Aim, along with magnanimous plans are mostly rendered superficial when our humanity opts out of Divine supremacy and although one may experience years of success with endeavors sought, barrenness will soon be the outcome (cf. Mt.24:35).

There is an elemental, spiritual pursuit worth endeavoring that sheds peace and contentment that insists, “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty” (Ps.91:1).  I’ve not surrendered well enough to understand the discomfort in abiding in my own care, so I’ve determined to relinquish my tenancy beginning now. Thanks be to Holy God for grace.

Happy Monday!
