.........it is God's order and his will which sanctify and not the curious speculations about it's origins."
Jean-Pierre de Caussade 1675-1751
de Cuassade basically states we spend so much time with theology and theories that we actually miss the point of being in the will of God. We are vainly chasing and theorising about something we already have. If we chose to submit to the will and Spirit of God, we would not only be obedient we would be fulfilled, sanctified and justified. Not just talking about it!
The will of God is the presence, the reality and virtue of all things. Without Gods direction it is all meaningless. We are but walking in the dark, with superficiality vanity, words and death. God is our light, our salvation, our sanity and our life!
Our only question should be LORD what shall I do? The presence of God which sanctifies our souls is the Holy Trinity which dwells in our hearts when we surrender to the divine will.
God will treat us as an individual and may communicate with us anyway he chooses!!
This is very freeing and oh so simple, but not necessarily easy to do as it is quite counter cultural to modern church!!
Give it a go! Ask the question! LORD shall I do?. This is not the speculation of What Would Jesus Do, but a simple question as we go to the source. Do it now!
I love this........................... it is awesome!!
