Oswald Chambers issues a warning today – “Beware of becoming wise and prudent.” He notes:
“All God’s revelations are sealed until they are opened to us by obedience. You will never get them open by philosophy or thinking. Immediately you obey, a flash of light comes in. Let God’s truth work in you by soaking in it, not by worrying into it…. One reads tomes on the work of the Holy Spirit, when only five minutes of drastic obedience would make things as clear as a sunbeam.:
I want to argue with this, but think (there I go again) I can’t. In fact, on reflection, I find Chambers’ thoughts to be accurate. While fretting, worrying, thinking, and philosophizing can help me understand something, they go no farther than that. Sitting in a dark room, the light can only enter if I get up and open the door, the shade, or flip the light switch.
But I’ll need to think on this a while.
It occurs to me...
