My "grave" has been opened by God and "I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing." God's Spirit continually reveals what human nature is like apart from His grace.
If the Spirit of God has given you a vision of what you are apart from the grace of God (and He only does it when His Spirit is at work), you know there is no criminal who is half so bad in actuality as you know yourself to be in possibility. When God wants to show you what human nature is like apart from Himself, He has to show it you in yourself. "Behold, O my people, I will open your graves." Is my experience such a wonderful realization of God's power and might that I can never despair of anyone I see? Have I had any spiritual work done in me at all? The degree of panic is the degree of the lack of personal spiritual experience. Am I quite sure that God will do what I cannot do? I despair of men in the degree in which I have never realized that God has done anything for me. Thank you for this important new book Joanna Weaver, bestselling author of Having a Mary Heart in. We would far rather work for God than believe in Him. Her faithfulness in the midst of sorrow challenges me today. That is why there are so few fellow workers with God and so many workers for Him.
"Son of man, can these bones live?" Ezekiel 37:3Ĭan that sinner be turned into a saint? Can that twisted life be put right? There is only one answer: "O Lord, Thou knowest, I don't." Never trample in with religious common sense and say - "Oh, yes, with a little more Bible reading and devotion and prayer, I see how it can be done." It is much easier to do something than to trust in God we mistake panic for inspiration.
