So let me get this straight…
I went from thinking I was nothing to realizing I’m something (in Christ), and now I’m back to nothing again?
Yeah, no. But… I think as humans, we’re a forgetful lot. We get used to the perks in life and take them for granted. Entitlement, right?
No, we’re not back down to nothing – it’s just a gentle reminder to keep sight of the fact that everything good in us and in our lives has been handed to us by a greatly gracious God.
James 1:17 – Whatever is good and perfect comes to us from God above, who created all heaven’s lights.
Same goes for wisdom. Sure, we’re supposed to read and study and dig into God’s word, but never should we feel like we’ve arrived.
In the Old Testament, when the Israelites were facing battles, God would change the strategy from one time to the next. They had to stop and ask God what to do, then wait for a response.
In the battles I face, I should never assume that God wants to do what He did the last time. What Neil calls the revelation of God (sounds ominous and important, right?) is just this: pray and ask, then wait and listen. God will speak.
