Away We Go!

Away We Go!

9.9.15

"...I send the promise of my Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high."  Luke 24:49

"But you shall receive power, after the Holy Ghost is come upon you." Acts 1:8

Before my heart attacks, I was the king of spinning plates and running to and fro..... Most of the time on my own strength.

These passages really spoke to me this morning and reminded me that I do NOT want to go back to my old ways.  

Jesus told the disciples to wait, to just sit and wait until they received the power they needed for the work they were called to do.  That is so hard to do sometimes. We live in such a "Just do it!", "Grab the bull by the horns!" society! It goes so much against what we are bombarded with every day. Waiting is not in our Modern vocabulary.

"Some people seem to think they are losing time if they wait on God for His power and so they go and work without unction. They are working without any power." 

~Charles Finney~

I don't know about you, but I want Divine unction and power working in my life.  All of our work is just wood, hay, and stubble that will just burn away one day if we don't have this. Don't you want your work to have lasting impact?Don't you want it to count for His Kingdom? Maybe we all just need to sit, seek and wait just a bit today.

May you seek His face before you seek any other today!
