I am in the seventh chapter of Hinds Feet on High Places and would like to share the following:
"It is now time for me to leave you. Much-Afraid, he said, and to return to the mountains. Remember, even though you seem to be farther away then ever from the High Places and from me, there is really no distance at all separating us. I can cross the desert sands as swiftly as I can leap from the High Places to the valleys, and whenever you call for me, I shall come. This is the word I now leave with you. Believe it and practice it with joy. My sheep hear my voice and they follow me.
Whenever you are wiling to obey me, Much-Afraid, and to follow the path of my choice, you will always be able to hear and recognize my voice, and when you hear it you must always obey. Remember also that it is always safe to obey my voice, even if it seems to call you to paths which look impossible or even crazy." (p. 79-80)
How the Sheperd (God) only wants the best for us. Obeying and trusting Him in our walk will only produced positive and wonderful results regardless how our thinking may deter us from believing this.
...................................................................... I Got The Joy!

ReplyDeletenice we are running on similar wavelengths...today we talked about the true meaning of surrender and how many times it wont make sense to us, but Gods got it all under control...
ReplyDeletePraise to God that you got the Joy!!
ReplyDeleteI was given this book last year by a dear blogger friend and it helped me so much in seeing my journey more clearly.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that book! I should probably re-read it 'cause I always learn something new each time. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
