TAT 208 Small But Important

After this Jesus, realizing that by this time everything was completed, said (in order to fulfill the scripture), “I am thirsty!” 29 A jar full of sour wine was there, so they put a sponge soaked in sour wine on a branch of hyssop and lifted it to his mouth. 30 When he had received the sour wine, Jesus said, “It is completed!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. (Jn. 19:28-30 NET)

There is no activity in God’s plan that is so small that it is insignificant.

TAT #44
Prepared

Hostility toward God’s chosen is growing worldwide.
Are you prepared for an obedient life to the LORD in light of this?
Really?
How have you prepared for it?

Let’s go through a short check list:
1.    Strong, intimate and consistent relationships with members of God’s spiritual family?
2.    Consistent Bible study?
3.    Consistent prayer throughout the day?
4.    Recognizing and responding to the Holy Spirit tugging on your heart and working on your character?
5.    A desire for God to use you to glorify Him with your coworkers and worldly friends who are now becoming contentious and hostile toward God’s chosen?
6.    A growing desire to throw off religious beliefs which are created and promoted by human institutions and return to a simple life of obedience base on accurate biblical knowledge?
7.    Feelings of inadequacy and a longing to be with Him in your eternal home?

I’m so convicted by my lack of preparation I think I’ll stop writing now and go study.

Timing

“Tell no man”
I loved the April 7th reading of Oswald Chambers. How many times have you heard a preacher, teacher, or lecturer tell us don’t tell anyone about something? None! Yet in Mark 9:9 Christ Himself is telling these two men not to tell what they had seen – UNTIL – He was risen.

The proper truth shared at the proper time is always important.
Let our timing be perfect. Study and be prepared to do so.
