Paying attention
by Rosemary ~ April 16th, 2007“You no more need a day off from spiritual concentration on matters in your life than your heart needs a day off from beating. As you cannot take a day off morally and remain moral, neither can you take a day off spiritually and remain spiritual. God wants you to be entirely His, and it requires paying close attention to keep yourself fit. It also takes a tremendous amount of time. Yet some of us expect to rise above all of our problems, going from one mountaintop experience to another, with only a few minutes’ effort.” -Oswald Chambers

Wow! What a great reminder. Being the redeemed of God takes effort and concentration. We are all His; we need to live coram deo–before the face of God.

I just came over from Hiraeth because I’m in the midst of checking in with my faves prior to finishing my lesson for tomorrow. At Kim’s she had written just the words I was lacking for an illustration. And now here, you have in two posts, this one and the one previous, been more of God’s spark and inspiration for how to tie up some loose ends in my lesson.
Thank you, Rosemary, for being a vessel of God to me today. And so thankful you are feeling better.
