THOUGHTS TO QUICKEN AND INSPIRE
MEET FOR THE MASTER’S USE: As you are your best you place yourself in a situation where He will empower and direct you into profitable and pleasurable exercises. Paul was a ‘chosen vessel for the Lord’ and he made certain that he kept himself in a commendable spiritual condition so that he could be used by the LORD in beautiful ways. Landing bereft but his life and escaping death by the skin of his teeth, he turned out to be a god-send to the inhabitants of Malta! He was meet to be employed by the LORD in such a fashion, the leadership and inhabitants of the Island enjoyed what he did in the LORD’S Name – see Acts 28. The opportunity is before you to consecrate yourself wholly to Him and be fully alive and empowered to move into the impossible and work wonders. The Master’s has His eyes wide open and looks for those who are in a healthy and wholesome state so that He can minister through them. Remember the song: ‘There’s a work for Jesus none but you can do!’ But you must in a prime condition, fully primed!
WISE COUNSEL
THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM: If you desire to be wise then you need to start right and be on the correct path. Here we are informed on this: ‘The reverent and worshipful fear of the LORD is the beginning (the chief and choice part) of Wisdom, and the knowledge of the HOLY ONE is insight and understanding’ – Proverbs 9:10. The LORD is the One with all-the-know, and know-how and is able to guide to precision, perfection and preservation. Nothing gives Him more pleasure to share out of His infinite resources with mortals who truly require the best information and instruction. Make sure you are a pupil in His class and learn all that you should know from Him so that you can live a life to tremendous satisfaction and fulfilment. As He is Holy so you will be, too, and into this state will be poured incredible blessing! You will have the best quality knowledge one could ever acquire and be in situations where it can be used with telling effect.
ENVY
‘People who are green with envy are ripe for trouble.’
