As we prepare to embark on yet another long summer on the road, with family life having to fit in around ministry, my thoughts have been focused on the need for me to be obedient to God. Here's what I read this morning: "There is no enemy more wicked or troublesome to the soul than yourself, when you are not in harmony with the Spirit...Learn to obey, you who are but dust; learn to humble yourself, learn to curb your desires, and yield yourself to complete obedience. Direct your anger against yourself, and let no swelling pride remain in you...What can you, an unclean sinner, answer to any who reproach you, when you have so often offended God? God has spared you, for your soul is precious to Him, that you might know His love, and be ever grateful for His favour: also, that you might give yourself constantly to true obedience and humility, enduring patiently any contempt laid on you." (Thomas a Kempis) |
