DON'T PUT GOD IN A BOX
My time with the Lord in the morning consist of reading the scriptures and also two devotionals- a periodical 'Everyday with Jesus' by Selwyn Hughes and the other is 'My Utmost for the Highest' by Oswald Chambers.
Today's reading reminds us not to put God in a box. We often think that just because a certain way work for us that we can keep doing it that way. This moves our dependence from the living Lord to our confidence on a certain way or principle.
Oswald Chambers wrote, "Beware of making a fetish consistency to your convictions instead of being devoted to God. There never was a more inconsistent Being on this earth than Our Lord, but He was never inconsistent to His Father. The one consistency of the saint is not to a principle but to the Divine life. It is the Divine life which ocntinually makes more and more discoveries about the Divine mind. It is easier to be a fanantic than a faithful soul, because there is something amazingly humbling, particularly to our religious conceit, in being loyal to God."
