Why Cannot I Fallow Thee Now?

Hello Everyone,

I have been thinking a lot about what was said at the H2O that we had at Evergreen this year. I was so encouraged to hear what all of you had to say then, and it has helped me keep my focus on God more. Not too long after that H2O, my mom got the book, My Utmost for His Highest, by Oswald Chambers. As I was reading it, I came upon a section that ran right along the lines of what was said at the H2O.


Why Cannot I Fallow Thee Now?

There are times when you cannot understand why you cannot do what you want to so. When God brings the blank space, see that you do not fill it in, but wait. The blank space may come in order to teach you what sanctification means, or what service means. Never run before God’s guidance. If there is the slightest doubt, the He is not guiding. Whenever there is doubt ~ don’t.

In the beginning you may see clearly what God’s will is ~ the severance of a friendship, the breaking off of a business relationship, something you feel distinctly before God is His will for you to do, never do it on the impulse of that feeling. If you do, you will end in difficulties that will take years of time to put to right. Wait for God’s time to bring it round and He will do it without and heartbreak or disappointment. When it is a question of the providential will of God, wait for God to move.


This is really something that I have had to take to heart and work on. It has not been easy, but I think I am making some headway. When I stop and think that God has my life planned out to perfection, I wonder why I get so paranoid and worried. This is God! He doesn’t make mistakes! And I am sure that what He has for me, is by far better then anything I could come up with myself.
